[Nomad1-dev] problems running freenomad

[Rui A. <co...@ph...>]

Hello,

I've been trying to get freenomad to work (command line tool, linux) but I 
have a problem I can't solve:

If I keep a connection to /dev/parport0 in ecp_linux .cpp file, the program 
just doesn't work because I don't have such a device in /dev. I do have a 
/dev/parport though and if I change ecp_linux.cpp replacing 
"open("/dev/parport0", O_RDWR);" for open("/dev/parport", O_RDWR) and then 
compile, the program does run a bit further. The messages I get after this 
change are the following:

===========================================
>i
Initializing player...
	open parallel port: ok
	claim access
#100 ERROR strerror says: "Invalid argument"
	close parport
#100 ERROR strerror says: "Invalid argument"
	failed to initialize, try again?
>i
	open parallel port
#100 ERROR strerror says: "Device or resource busy"
	close parport
	failed to initialize, try again?
>
===================================

And it repeats "device or resource busy" from then on until I restart the 
program.

Does anyone have any idea of what I'm doing wrong? (FYI, I downloaded the 
file freenomad-0.2-src.tar.gz, I'm using mandrake linux 8.2 on a compaq 
aramada 110 laptop).

Thanks a lot for all the help in advance.
