[C.CC USERS] Plumbing in Linux

[Steve Pretty]

I thought I would try to install the Plumbing environment on my Linux 
system (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) this weekend. The JEdit environment installed 
well, and the basic Occam "Hello World"  programs run on the local 
machine in both native and transterpreter mode. No success with the 
Arduino board however.

I installed the Arduino "Wiring" software to help with debugging (that 
does work OK).

The Plumbing software, as with windows, does not provide a list of 
ports. Wiring does that OK - so I discovered that I needed to enter 
/dev/tty/ACM0.  (I had a look at the code - the relevant method for 
windows is not yet implemented - just returns null.  I am not sure about 
the *nix code - I experimented with it a little and think there might be 
an issue with the filter - but I am not a Java expert). Arduino Wiring 
code uses a completely different approach - it uses the Javax.comm 
library to identify the port list.

Plumbing appears to communicate with the Arduino Board (appropriate 
RX/TX LEDS are flashing), but there is an error message:

avrdude stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding.

Looking at the concurrency.cc blog, I realised that this might well be 
due to the fact that the ubuntu build has not been updated for Arduino 
Uno. Is that still the case?
