[etherlab-users] EtherCat master 1.5

[Westpfahl Jasper]

Hello,

I had a problem after the installation of the EtherCat master 1.5. When I typed:

ethercat slaves

it didn't show the slaves but this error message:

Failed to obtain number of masters: ioctl() version magic is differing: /dev/EtherCAT0: 5, ethercat tool: 7

I tried reinstalling it, but instead I seem to have broken it in the progress. Now I can't even start the Ethercat devel with:

/etc/init.d/ethercat start

just yields:

Starting EtherCat master devel modinfo: could not find module ec_e1000


Since I know that it should work, because I have gotten it to work on an other PC, I think it's probably an installation issue. My question now is: What is a clean way to uninstall EtherCat master 1.5 and then reinstall it i.e. which folders do I need do delete? I of course read the documentation online and the INSTALL file in the source but there is no note on how to uninstall the software. Simply installing again doesn't solve the problem.

I use SUSE Linux Kernel Version: 2.6.22.5-rtai-3.6.2


any help would be appreciated
