Hi Ian/John/Bernd Sorry about the slow response but I have been busy. > On 19/05/06 14:27, Simpson, John wrote: > > I am having the same problems compiling comedi-0.7.70 on FC5 as another > > recent contributor.

I just pulled the version from the CVS and followed the instructions on the web pages to build and install comedi and comedilib. I admit I have problems with the 2.6.16 kernels. I too am having problems with Fedora Core 5. But not the same as John's. I am running on the latest kernel (2.6.16-1.2111_FC5-i686). I have copied the patch to a file comedi_#221.patch. I used the following to compile the latest CVS comedi without errors being reported: follow the instructions on the comedi.org site to download the CVS download the patch file into the CVS copy of comedi cd comedi # to the CVS copy patch -p0 < comedi_#221.patch ./autogen.sh --enable-kbuild ./configure --enable-kbuild make make check make install /sbin/depmod -a NB. This was all on the standard Fedora kernel. Compiling a vanilla kernel appears to require the same. I hope that helps John. My problems are when I attempt to use it! It appears that comedi is not picking up the usb connected USB-DUX device I use. I have managed to get things working by issuing the following command: comedi_config -i /usr/local/share/usb/usbdux_firmware.hex /dev/comedi0 I have copied Bernd Porr in as he may be interested in the USB-DUX implications. I have spoken with him about this already but I believe that it is down to comedi and the 2.6.16 kernel not the USB-DUX (a very grey area I accept). Has anyone any ideas? -- Paul Finnigan
