Hi Barbara, Thanks for the tip, looks like you are exactly right. I confirmed this works on a more recent linux kernel, although I need to get it working on this older version. I compiled the C code with no problem, and then moved on to compiling the Java code on top of this. However, the configuration script is giving me some type of write error, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Based on the script output below, can you tell me what needs to be writable?
