need urgent help - keyspan with macosx
« on: Dec 14th, 2003, 8:32am »

I can't communicate with my bx24 thru the serial port. I installed the keyspan driver and after running my processing application I've got an error saying that the port is already in use.
 
I then installed the rxtx driver, and now the serial menu in proce55ing is grayed out.
 
Help!
Thanks in andvance,
 
Cesare

Ok, I forgot to say that I installed rxtx from an alternative (easier) distribution. Can't remember where I've got it.
It seems that my dev tools are not properly working. Can't use ./configure for instance.
 
The ports are available from the network preferences but in proce55ing the menu is now grayed out. To make things worse I don't know if my cable is a serial or a printer one. I think I'll open the keyspan adapter and bring the wires I need outside.
Still in trouble.
 
Thanks,
 
Cesare

Trying to install the package from rxtx.org
 
./autogen.sh: libtoolize: command not found
autoheader: config.h.in is unchanged
