It would probably be easier to help for anyone if you provided some more information, e.g. attached the output of "make install" that seems to have failed. Additionally, you should try and load the needed comedi modules manually before running comedi_config if you know where they are. > > BTW, I am doing this installation under CentOS version 4.3, a RedHat > Enterprise derivative. > > Harold Skank Regards, Jan
