    Nobody on the XFBB mailing list seemed to be interested in answering my
    questions.
    Would anyone here on the linux-hams mailing list care to comment on my
    concerns
    listed below? Have all of you installed XFBB without a single problem?
     Could I
    be living on top of an Indian Burial Ground or something? I would
    certainly like to
    move on to the next set of error codes if someone would be kind enough
    to comment
    on my current dilemma.

    Thank you in advance for your expert advice and support!

    Regards,

    Gentlemen -

    Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I have finally
    resolved my AX25 and
    Linuxnode problems and I am ready to tackle my final problem XFBB.
    Everyone else
    seems to have little or no problems getting XFBB running. So, I must
    assume that I am
    overlooking some menial information that is keeping my XFBB setup from
    working. The
    README file is simple and clear and I have followed the steps:

    (FYI) ... I am running RedHat v7.2 with a 2.4.20 kernel. AX25 and
    Linuxnode installed.

    1) Put tarball in a specific directory
    2) un-tar it
    3) Run the install shell and answer the questions
    4) Edit the appropriate files ... port.sys, init.srv, etc.
    5) Run it ... execute the program shell ... ./xfbb.sh

    However ... the result is always the same "Unknown return value 127". I
    have heard
    rumors that XFBB has to be compiled. There are no instructions with my
    tarball that
    says it has to be compiled (x700e_full.tgz). If I am missing the
    compile step I would
    appreciate it if someone would point me in the right direction. Is it
    possible that I have
    the wrong tarball? I have been stuck with the "unknown return value
    127" error for
    ever. It would be nice to at least move on to the next set of error codes.

    Any information that you might be able to offer would be appreciated!

    Regards,

    Bill KJ6EO
