That path doesn't exist on either of my two real installs either. Digging into pretty stale memory, much of a year old, ISTR I had to delete the .ko as root (sudo) before comp could recreate a new one. So there is another data point on using comp that confirms your clients findings. I didn't check to see if it might have been a perms problem or what at the time, as the 2nd pass built a working module. This was on the lathes install, but all modules carry identical build date/times _now_ and root:root owner:group. Odd. Doing the same ls -l on the mills box also shows this all at once build date/time, exactly the same 2014-06-18 22:54 but without the lincurve.ko I had to build for the lathe. I find that equally odd. But the lack of an automatic remake if the source file has been updated does seem to be something that needs investigation. Perhaps the rebuild command line needs to be prefaced with a sudo because root owns all that? > On my system here, comp just works without any fiddling. > > Any comments? > My 2 cents above Jon. > Thanks, PS: I enjoyed your demolishing of trying to run this on an arduino. ;-) > Jon > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------- Open source business process management suite built on Java and > Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM > Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into > organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards > http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
