I installed the RTEMS 4.9 tools and code via the Quick Start
instructions, and encountered a couple of issues:
* When converting the rpm packages to deb using alien a file
(rtems-4.9.list) is written to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ; this
file causes the Ubuntu graphical package manager (Synaptic Pkg
Mgr) to fail. The offending line seems to point to where the rpm
package can be obtained. Commenting it out allows Synaptic to run.
* GDB seems to have been built with a dependency on the
libtinfo.so.5 library by name, rather than the libncurses.so.5
library where it is located in Ubuntu. This requires the creation
of soft links to libncurses with the name libtinfo.
Neither of these is a big deal; just thought knowing might help someone.
