Bug #5131 for Device-Modem: /dev/modem

Fri Jan 30 10:03:56 2004 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

/dev/modem

Device-Modem-1.33, Perl 5.8.0, 2.4.20-6smp GNU/Linux (Red Hat 9) Make test; make install successful. Running the examples fail. Output/Complaint: Your serial port is '/dev/ttyS0' (cached) # yes,correct can't open device: /dev/modem at /usr/.../Modem.pm line 468 My work-around is: ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem Then examples do not fail, but my concern is what happens later in development when I plan to use multiple serial ports? /dev/modem can't be symbolically linked to all of them! Have I configured something incorrectly? -- Mark

Everything is in place. The only problem is in example scripts that don't get the correct defaults. -- Cosimo
