That depends on many things, but not libhid. > After my earlier bug I built the exact thing on fedora 6 and it > works fine but when I copied the executable and the .so on to > another machine which is fedora 6, I again get the broken pipe > error. So there has to be some difference between the two machines then. I don't like moving binaries between systems, but I guess it's a matter of policy. There are certainly ways to make it work fine technically. Fedora is just a name and not an API or anything else technical. Much like Windows is not neccessarily Win32. Maybe Fedora 6 encourages the user to reconfigure the kernel, it surely is possible even if it isn't encouraged. Linux is the API. A difference between the two kernels can cause what you're seeing. Charles mentioned this, and also that there may be other applications on the non-working system that are affecting your application. It's hard for us to know your systems. :\ //Peter _______________________________________________ libhid-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/libhid-discuss
