Ok, I installed emc on red hat 6.1 again, this time I took better notes!
My setup
Just two small differences from the Mandrake Install being that I don't have gcc version 2.95.2 on rh6.1.red hat 6.1 with gcc version egcs 2.91.66 gnome workstation install rtlinux-2.2-prepatched.tar.gz file from site listed on linuxcnc.org june 7 emc
First, the rtlinux install
After following all directions on installing the rtlinux-2.2 kernel,
I had two files that needed permissions changed before it would let me
see the examples operate. Those files are, rmrtl and insrtl and they are
both in the rtlinux-2.2 directory. all other instructions from linuxcnc.org
worked flawless.
Now for emc install
First problem you will come to is that you only need to edit two of the three files referenced on linuxcnc.org. The rtlinux_2_0.def and the linux_2_0_13.def. Now just DONT do the "fpermissive" edit inside these files. They still need to be changed so they point to rtlinux_2_2, and linux_2_2_14 as linuxcnc.org states.
It all seemed to compile properly through the emcsh.cc, so no file editing was necassary.
Moved the following:
Running EMC
If you are going to run steppermod.o then comment out the period variable
in your .ini file, and have a good time. Thats all there is too it.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
