Here's the story. By the magic of aptitude, I installed a package that wanted udev, and as a result got rid of hotplug by accident. So I removed this package (can't remember what it was, nothing terribly important), reinstalled hotplug and thought nothing of it.
A bit later, however, I noticed that my USB modem wasn't firmware-ing properly when I plugged it in. So I assumed (rather uninformedly) that after reinstalling hotplug, the eagle-usb thing hadn't registered with it properly. Ha ha ha thinks I, I'll just reinstall the modem driver. Bad move: I'd forgotten the hell it took to make it work in the first place. Unfortunately I only remembered this *after* 'make uninstall'. Next, various gcc version conflicts got in my way; managed to sort them out reasonably OK-ly. Now I have 3.3.5 symlinked to /usr/bin/gcc, same as the kernel. All fine. Eagle-usb now ./configures correctly. But I get some weird stuff while makeing. FIrst few things (DSP codes) compile fine, but it gets stuck on compiling eaglectrl. Error I get is (not exactly since for obvious reasons I'm on windows now and can't copy & paste between) syntax error in /usr/include/asm-i486/bitops.h:244. Any reason for this? I guess (again uninformedly...) some kind of libc6 versioin problem? Or something? :S Thanks. :-) A -- Adam Gray "Life + self-doubt = peace" -- Jan Buttinger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
