Hello! Mick no you are not. The rules for building OWFS on a Debian based variety of Linux have never really changed since before the release of the first Raspberry Pi device.
However we need to change the rules appropriately for the Raspberry Pi. And we need to get things updated on the website, as Slackware 10.2 is quite old, I've gotten the proper releases to build on 11.0 and even the 64 bit 14 series ones. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
