Machine:
old desktop with "real" serial port
CPU i686 Celeron (Coppermine) 700 MHz
Zenwalk Linux 4.8 (updated to 5) Kernel 2.6.23.12
Picaxe:
picaxe18X on micro-robot AXE120 with self-made 3 wire serial cable
1 - I need to add my user to "tty" group to have serial port access
2 - compiler has the following error:
./compiler/picaxe18x: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
3 - my distro has libpcre.so.0 installed and doesn't have libpcre.so.3 in the repository, so a simple command
root[picaxe]# ln -s /usr/lib/libpcre.so /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3
does the trick
(I've read on http://sness.blogspot.com/2008/06/libpcreso3.html "they just unilaterally chose to rename libpcre as version 3 for some reason")
4 - compilation and downloading is OK with debugging info too
