Unfortunately, I am clueless when it comes to how software packages are normally installed and where the files go. I am sensing from your comments above, that libmodbus 3 isn't and won't, in the foreseeable future, have any presence in LinuxCNC unless it is installed separately by the user. Any HAL components that use libmodbus 3 will also need to be separately installed and configured. I guess this is okay. I just wanted to know what to expect. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
