OK, here goes: and let me preface this by apologizing if the answer is already 
somewhere.  I am working on some software, and would like for other people to 
be able to demo it on their own computers.  The demo, (a very simple program) 
compiles and installs just fine, and works, as well, when compiling from a VM 
that I "inherited" from a previous contributor.  The VM has Windows XP, cygwin, 
and tinyos-2.x installed on it.  I flash this over to a mica2 mote via the 
mib520 usb programmer.

The demo receives packets and then processes them in some way.  It is, in fact, 
based on RadioCountToLeds.  Now, here's the funny part.  As I have said before, 
I wish for others to be able to compile and run this demo as well, so I was 
considering using XUbunTOS, as I can't very well give away a bunch of copies of 
this VM (The one that I develop on) that has all sorts of proprietary software 
on it.

 I install XUbunTOS on a different VM, compile the demo, flash it onto the 
mica2 mote, and everything works great, except that (apparently) the mote 
cannot receive packets.  Hmmm.  Perhaps this has something to do with a 
different version of nesc or gcc, or something.  So I then try to compile and 
flash RadioCountToLeds from the apps/ directory, and I get the same situation.  
RadioCountToLeds just does not work.  I would like to get my demo to work from 
an XUbunTOS installation, but I think that perhaps the problem with my demo is 
the same problem with RadioCountToLeds.

I even tried RadioCountToLeds on my XP VM, just to make sure, and it works as 
it should when flashed onto a couple of mica2 motes.



So, to summarize: when compiling my demo and/or radiocounttoleds:

VM running Windows XP & cygwin:  works as specified.

VM running XUbunTOS: does not work.

Sorry to be so long winded.  Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch y'all!
