Eric, I feel for you brother. Getting stuff like this to work is often a painful process.
It is unlikely that you will be able to get this all together without having to have your end users just download a binary unless you are providing a full distro with it. One of the primary reasons is that some of the programs depend on version specific kernel modules. So, every time you rebuild the kernel you also have to rebuild the add on modules and some of the low level applications. There are ways of getting around most of that, but not completely. I do not know the current state of emc2 with regards to this, but "there be dragons" once you enter the gate. It has been quite awhile since I have played with all of this, but since it looks like there is ***finially*** a NURBs implementation around, I plan to start jumping back in myself. I will also be delving into some of this since Gentoo is my platfor of choice and I'll be trying to set up portage ebuilds for rtai, comedi, and emc again (meaning that a few years ago I had versions running for emc/rt-linux, but not for rtai). Eric, if you are interested I will try to keep you in the loop of developments and what I did to get things working. As a note, my development machine of choice is a dual-core, so I might figure out how to deal with some of your issues. Best of luck and happy hacking... EBo -- "Eric H.
