I have a file called ethercat-1.5-6129a5f715fb.pdf that I got from the website. If you look on page 80 (90 of 93 in Acrobat reader) the command to use is written as ln -s etc/init.d/ethercat /etc/init.d/ Now I cant help it if this PDF has typos in it. I don't know enough Linux to catch typos like this. I now see that it is written a little differently in the INSTALL file. Of course, the first thing the INSTALL file does is tell you that the complete procedure should be read from the documentation. The rest is only for the "impatient". Since I wanted to be thorough, as opposed to "impatient", I read the PDF. I was trying to be a good user. I will try the command as given in the INSTALL file. Thank you for pointing that out. As a suggestion to the people who maintain this, they may which to correct this typo. What is $PREFIX supposed to mean?

I took the advice and used a new download of SUSE Linux 11.4 with kernel 2.6.37. Now I can't even get an ethercat executable in /usr/bin and nothing in /etc/init.d/ either. WHY? Does this work? All I want to do is download and compile the source, then run it. I was given the impression that this was doable. Can someone help me? As user, I did: ./bootstrap //even though the docs mention the file should be called bootstrap.sh ./configure make all modules make make modules As root, I did: make modules_install install depmod make install make modules install depmod cd /opt/etherlab cp etc/sysconfig/ethercat /etc/sysconfig/ ln -s etc/init.d/ethercat /etc/init.d/ insserv ethercat Even the insserve errors out: "insserv: ethercat: No such file or directory" I also have an issue with running /etc/init.d/ethercat start I get the message "/etc/init.d/ethercat: No such file or directory" Please help. The file I started from is etherlabmaster-4adb56c4198d.tar.bz2. If this is a development version that hasn't even been tested yet, which it appears to be if I can't even get /usr/bin/ethercat, can someone point me a link to a version that WILL work?
