clockspeed do not run continuosly (just finish after start/it's not started/intended for background)

Hello,

I have a problem with clockspeed  binary from clockspeed-0.62 package
(sntpclock is working just fine).

I adjusted conf-cc with to
cc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h

I adjusted clockview.c:
#include <sys/time.h>
to
#include <time.h>

I'm using

Ubuntu Edgy

gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)

uname -a
Linux gimli 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux

My problem is, that clocspeed is exiting without any message immediatelly
after start (during testing I run clockspeed NOT for background)

On other machines is working fine. It's not my first installation.

Could somebody help me, what I shall try?

Thank you in advance,
Jiri

Random guess: you ran "sntpclock > /usr/local/clockspeed/adjust"
before ever running clockspeed, so "adjust" was created as a regular
file.  In that case, delete the file and start clockspeed first, to
ensure "adjust" gets created as a named pipe.

If that's not the problem, run "strace clockspeed" to see what fails.

Paul,

Thank you very much for the fast response and finding out the reason for my
troubles.

 rm /usr/local/clockspeed/adjust

solved it and clockspeed is working fine now.

Once again Thank you!
