<p class=MsoNormal>Hi there,<br>
<br>
I mangaged to get RTAI 3.7 installed on Suse 11.0 (Kernel 2.6.25.5). <br>
<br>
When trying to install etherlab I got following error:<br>
<br>
mylinux:/opt/etherlab/etherlab-1.2-rc5 # ./configure<br>
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c<br>

checking IPIPE configured in kernel... yes<br>
checking EtherCAT path... configure: error: No installed EtherCAT found in
//opt/etherlab<br>
<br>
As documented in the etherlab manual (Chapter: 3.1 Prerequisites) the EtherCAT
Master should be an optional dependency:<br>
<br>
"• optional: EtherCAT master 1.4, if the Simulink EtherCAT blocks
shall be used. See <a
href="http://service.gmx.net/de/cgi/derefer?TYPE=3&DEST=http%3A%2F%2Fetherlab.org%2Fen%2Fethercat"
target="_blank">http://etherlab.org/en/ethercat</a>."<br>
<br>
1.) Where is my problem? Is EtherCat Master an optional dependency to Etherlab?<br>
<br>
<br>
2.) Unfortunaetly I wasn't successful to install EtherCat Master 1.4.0:<br>
<br>

available for 8139too driver!<br>
<br>
I found out that the problem is a missing 8139too driver for my kernel in the
devices subdir:<br>

<br>
I don't know which kernel I should use. RTAI only supports hal-linux patches
for kernel 2.6.24-x86, 2.6.25-x86 , 2.6.27.19-x86, 2.6.28.7-x86. This does does
not really match with 8139too-versions available for Ethercat Master. <br>
<br>
2.) So I cannot find kernel version that fits all involved participants. How
can I get off this situation?<br>
