Errol,

I'm only programming for the msp under a windows environment, and don't have the time to look into setting up a unix system specifically for the msp here at work.

But a tip for Ubuntu:

Use the command "sudo su" to switch user to root which is persistent until you close the terminal or logout of root.

Good Luck.

Cheers,
Ian.

re:

the commands :-

     cd ../build-binutils
     ../binutils-2.19/configure --target=msp430
--prefix=/usr/local/msp430
     make
     su
     make install

I don't want to tell people how to suck eggs, & I'm possibly nit-picking
now, but perhaps a suggestion (for at least the Ubuntu users) ....

    sudo make install

is safer for the common man?

Not only that, but to make "su" work, I'd have to enable the root user.
I don't trust myself enough for that .....


- regards,
                Errol Kowald
