Re: comedi 7.69 make errors

Thanks for your response though I still need more information.  Don't 
know if this will help but the background for this is that I originally 
installed this comedi on Fedora and worked my way thru it to success.  
Now, I'm using Red Hat Enterprise ES Version 3.  I don't know what you 
mean by "configure may work if you have write permission to the kernel 
".  Could you give me more information please?
You say it "may work".  What if it doesn't?
thanks - nick
