Thank you for your responses. I was actually trying to compile the trunk version, as it has a slave library as well. I was able to compile libmodbus-1.2.3 The full plan was to use the slave test to connect thru rs 232 to classicladder on another computer. (not positive that would work...) The output from the trunk version after configure was: ./configure: line 1685: syntax error near unexpected token `libmodbus,' ./configure: line 1685: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libmodbus, 1.3.0)' Chris Morley By the way how does autogen fit in the process as I see a autogen script. sigh so much to learn! :)
