Getting Started with Linux

If retrieving the sam7utils package, note that you should retrieve sam7utils-0.2.1.tar.gz.

The newer version no longer needs the at91 driver; it uses libusb instead.

I have followed this step by step and cannot get passed beyond configure as it complains about -lreadline. Adding the export LDFLAGS=-lcurses or -lncurses still does not fix the problem. Where does it exactly look for this readline library?
I tried typing cpp -v and gcc -c -v test.c the search path is :

#include <...> search starts here:
/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.3/include
/usr/include
End of search list.

How does this work?

I wanted to set things up so that users without superuser access can still upload programs onto the controller board, so that I could have students write and upload programs on our Linux laboratory computers. Detailed instructions are at http://ozark.hendrix.edu/~burch/proj/make-laboratory.html. Step 5 is the major addition to what's in this tutorial. Also, Step 3 explains in more detail how to get the driver to load automatically after reboot.

I ran into the same trouble as eapolo with the readline library. For me, installing the Ubuntu package libreadline5-dev repaired the problem.
