issues with cio dio24h board

yes I read it I tried the .comp but it acted like it could'nt find it

mill-desktop:~$ sudo comp --install pcl720.comp
[sudo] password for mill:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/comp", line 1297, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/comp", line 1266, in main
process(f, mode, outfile)
File "/usr/bin/comp", line 1140, in process
a, b = parse(filename)
File "/usr/bin/comp", line 386, in parse
f = open(filename).read()
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'pcl720.comp'

it kinda ran "home to momma" and read a file called comp
so I tried the .c and got what you see above

I find it easiest to run the install command from the directory where the comp file is. Have you tried that? Or I guess include the entire path with the filename

ok tried this and got something different

mill-desktop:~$ sudo comp --install /usr/bin/pcl720.comp
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/comp", line 1297, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/comp", line 1266, in main

File "/usr/bin/comp", line 1140, in process
a, b = parse(filename)
File "/usr/bin/comp", line 387, in parse
a, b = f.split("\n;;\n", 1)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

I think it is still reading the same file

Sorry Pat, I now become an observer. my bag of knowledge is all used up - Not too big a bag really.

@John, I think he is using the file Andy posted for him.

Thanks anyway this is a real learning experience for me.
THANKS

I think I better spend a few hours learning basic linux commands

Can you copy one of the example comps from the manual to a directory and get that to compile?

John

I will read thru all this and give it a try
I read in another thread that I should add it to my Hal file
I haven't quite figured that out yet but I am still reading and making progress
Thanks for the help.
