@Roma
It took me a while too, but basically, it looks like you have installed and run Arduino-0017 before you realised it doesn’t work on AMD64 (me too!)

The preferences in 17 are not compatible with 16, so you need to delete the .arduino folder in your home directory. Then re-run arduino16 you built with this tutorial – it will work!

This was wonderful…thank you so much. Finally got the serial monitor to work! I am running Ubuntu 9.04 / amd64. Before today I could not run this sketch:

* NewSerialServo
* ————–
* Servo control from the Serial port
*
* Alteration of the control interface to use keys
* to slew the servo horn left and right. Works best with
* the Linux/Mac terminal “screen” program.
*
* Created 10 December 2007
* copyleft 2007 Brian D. Wendt

* Adapted from code by Tom Igoe

*/
etc., etc.

Hmmm, no answers … Vista does the job it seems.

Just trying this to see if I can make it work with release 17 but having downloaded avrdude i see avrdude.conf but no avrdude file, there is avrdude.1, avrdude.h and avrdude.spec. Which one should I use? do I need to remove the extension? What am I doing wrong?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

I have a Vista laptop I can use to do Arduino work, but would like to get it running under Linux on my AMD64 laptop.

What extra info can I provide to help track this down?

Hi Richard, how are you running the Arduino script? Through the shell, or via the file manager? I think that only occurs if the working directory is incorrect. Let me know if it doesn’t work, it was the only way I could reproduce the error.

I am seeing the same problems as Thomas and Roma.

@Nate: Thanks! Sorry for the late reply, I just realized that I had messed up email notifications for comments. Let me know if you got it working!
