Indeed, using a newer version of comp helps. I had created a local git repository recently from the instructions on the linuxcnc.org download page, and it seems to be 2.7.0~pre0. That was where I found mesa_7i65.comp. Using run-in-place in that tree gets me past the "must contain a function" error, but runs into missing include file errors (seem to be linux headers). I suspect I'm missing some symlink for comp to find the linux headers.

Ah, yes, memories are stirring. I think that Jepler hacked comp.py to allow me to do things that i needed to do to make mesa_7i65 work. Was mesa_7i65 included in your version of LinuxCNC? If it wasn't, then it may be that your version of comp can't handle that driver. (it will also tend to hint that your version cant do BSPI either). Upgrading to 2.6 might be required. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
