Yes I read this but I was not sure if /usr/src/linux is good idea to be owned by me, but I think you are wright /usr/src/linux directory is used only by comedi at this time so I should only issue a "chown" command to change the owner. > > > It works for me only there is a multiple > > definition error for comedi_debug in comedidev.h: > > This is a known problem that can be solved by enabling debugging. Justly, before sending my first email I enabled debugging in "make config" but the error still there, I will check again . You mean I can set comedi_debug=0 after "extern int comedi_debug" in my application program if I do not want to print debug messages to not charge a lot /var/log/messages file. Is comedi_debug recognized by both user and kernel spaces? Finally we should find a better way to solve this problem rather than setting comedi_debug during comedi installation .
