However, you _are_ better positioned than me to do this, and you probably have more time 8) > I've got a linux_lib-2.1.tgz in ~erich on freefall, I don't know if I'll > have time to commit the port upgrade before next week.

Here's the highlights: I will try, but that will either be tomorrow or later next week; we have a bench integration that will eat all of monday and probably Tuesday as well when some twonk turns to me and says "we changed the protocol for XYZ" or "we need an option to do this..." and I have to madly scramble something together to save their sorry asses again. > I haven't got a clue on the linux releases either.

I would suggest the whole chain; make, gcc (a.out and ELF?), gas, bison, flex, all the binutils, all the libraries and headers (don't forget the kernel headers; everything else ends up including them) etc. RIght now we don't support the Linux ptrace, but you could include gdb as a goad for someone to fix it 8) > eric. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
