Hi Greg, thanks for your mail,
I found out what the problem is. There is no /dev/inotify now that
inotify support is part of the standard kernel. The interface is through
sys calls.
You need at least beagle 0.0.14 to be able to use it with a 2.6.13 kernel.
This was held up for a while but 0.1 has been in unstable for a week or so
now.
And it seems to work ok.
cheers
