my hardware connections are following TelosB architecture..

Yes i tried Null and Blink. working fine mean the hardware is working...

when i tried to configure Blip in windows it showed error that Blip works
in Linux

I'm really sorry it was typing mistake i have msp430-gcc-4.5.3

when i tried to "install" the program my hardware is not responding for bsl
