The .deb file won't install on my 64-bit system (ubuntu feisty):
dpkg: error processing nqc_3.1.r6-1_i386.deb (--install):
package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
nqc_3.1.r6-1_i386.deb
On my 32-bit system (ubuntu edgy), dpkg complained that a bunch of my
libraries weren't high enough versions:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dpkg -i nqc_3.1.r6-1_i386.deb

I installed it anyways with:
sudo dpkg -i nqc_3.1.r6-1_i386.deb -ignore-depends=libc6
-ignore-depends=libgc1 -ignore-depends=libstdc++6
It runs fine as far as I can tell, but to get the usb tower to work I
had add the following symbolic link:
ls -l /dev/usb
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-06-15 00:48 legousbtower0 -> ../legousbtower0
Is that a Debian vs Ubuntu issue?
Other than that issue, I was able to compile, download firmware, and
download apps to my RCX with the USB tower.

There are 2 bugs in Debian for nqc that I think have a possible resolution:
#108504: LEGO USB Tower Support
#287812: nqc: FTBFS (64-bit architectures): cast from 'const char*' to
'int' loses precision
Thanks!
I couldn't figure out how to directly update the debian bug report,
but I updated the bug report in launchpad.
You can add to Debian bug reports by sending email to
<bugr>@bugs.debian.org, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the first
bug above. I'm adding these bug reports to the CC.
I put an updated package including your patch (only the Makefile
patch was not already in the Debian package) in the directory
here:
http://footstool.stanford.edu/~blp/
Can you test it? I do not have LEGO USB hardware or actually any
LEGO MindStorms hardware anymore, so I cannot test it myself. If
it works for you, then I will upload it to Debian.
