Hi Dean

Steppermod will only compile for rtlinux kernels, whilst freqmod will compile 
for both rtlinux and rtai. A lot of the headers in the emcstepmot.c need to 
be conditionally included along with the rtlinux specific calls. Have a look 
at emcfreqmot.c to get an idea of what needs to be done.

In reply to your second point - Doing an update of this magnitude is indeed 
easier said than done. Just spent the afternoon messing around with the 
anaconda scripts and found everything has changed. So that's all my old notes 
out of the window (X as opposed to M$). At least the scripts used to build 
the various RPMs are still useable.

Regards, Paul.
