note that after installing gettext, you probably need to re-run configure for it to be picked up. Jeff -- ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net

Gentle persons: First, let me apologize for flitting on and off this list. I won't bore you with the details, but on-going health crises in two generations of my family are making a hash of my concentration on the fun stuff. Recently, Dave Engvall pointed out my wrong-headed characterization

Gentle persons: I'm sorry I wasn't able to put my oar in when this subject came up again recently. I am interested in playing with rtnet in the Spring. The trouble is, I'm certain enough of myself to believe I can successfully lash up some computers running rtai/rtnet and exchanging messages

[Emc-users] Bad motherboard capacitors?

2008-12-27 Thread Kent A. Reed
Gentle persons: In part because of the need for a parallel port and in part because of the latency-inducing problems that seem to arise more often with recent chipsets, we EMC'ers often seek out older motherboards/cpus. I'm curious to know if anyone has run into the problem of bad capacitors

I've repaired no less than 2 dozen MOBOs of varying brands (Soyo, MSI, Tyan, Dell, etc.) that all were simply in need of a capacitor or 6. Never bothered with a kit, just grabbed some from the 'Shack or the junk drawer or tacked onto an order to Digi-Key or Mouser. Easiest way to diagnose a bad

2008-12-27 Thread Dave Engvall
Hi all, The pastebin link is to some code generated by Synergy but edited to get the tool numbers, etc correct for my configuration. This code executes cleanly on the 2.2.5 on my Mazak but consistently gives errors (gouging) under 2.2.7 or 2.2.8. It also worked fine under sim pre-.2.1 (?).
