New user - timer problems

[Richardson, Anthony]

I think I am missing something fundamental with regard to
the use of timers.  Calls to rtems_timer_create() and
rtems_timer_initiate_server() return a status of
RTEMS_NOT_CONFIGURED.  If I ignore the error returns
everything seems to work ok, but I'm concerned I'm not
configuring something that I should be.

A complete, simple test case is included below.  The

#define CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_RTC_DRIVER
#define CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_TIMER_DRIVER

lines don't seem to help.  I threw them in when
trying to get rid of the error.

I'm using RTEMS 4.6.2 on the PC.

Thanks,
Tony Richardson
