You can install simulator versions of the .deb packages. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to emc2.2-sim instead of emc2.2, and then sudo apt-get install emc2-sim
4GB of disk space should be plenty for dev tools. You need the same version of gcc as what compiled the kernel, and the proper kernel/rtai headers. You might have better luck first running the configure script on the 6.06 machine, if you can't compile it there as well, and then copying the emc2 directory over to the 7.10 machine. (and the kernel/rtai source) best of luck, -fenn On Fri, 8 Feb 2008, Eric H.
