You should be able to compile and run both EMC and emc2 on the same distro, however - emc2 does not install a number of files in standard locations (as recommended in the LFSH), and if you use that modified Ubuntu disk, some files need to be moved/copied. Oh, and you will need to download and install all the prerequisite tools and development libraries. The EMC code also installs much of it's runtime files in non-standard locations ( /usr/local/emc is typical), but this is for historical reasons. > > expect??

If I remember > correctly, BDI EMC was redhat based so the process is a bit different. The early versions (BDI-2.xx & BDI-tng) were based on Red Hat, all later builds use Debian. The base distro isn't that important as this emc2 stuff *should* compile on _any_ version of Linux as long as a suitable patched realtime kernel is available...

Not just the BDI kernel version, but all of them.. Some notes on kernel versions & older distros: 2.2.xx kernels are no longer supported, nor is RTLinux, so forget trying to build emc2 on RH 6.x installs. 2.4.xx builds are broken, and gcc-2.95 (or egcs) won't work - So if you are trying to assemble an embedded system (2.4.xx still boots way faster than 2.6.xx), you have some fixing to do. 2.6.xx builds - 1004 compile time warnings & errors..
