1. Are you logged in as 'root'?

2. Is this really the very FIRST line in the file? There can't be any blank
lines or comments before this line. You can probably remove the "-f" from
this as well if that helps.

3. Reboot to get rid of all the installed modules, etc. and do this by hand
rather than by script. As user root from a terminal window in X do:

cd /usr/local/nist/emc

insmod -v /usr/src/rtl/modules/rtl_sched

insmod -v /usr/local/nist/emc/plat/rtlinux_09J/lib/steppermod.o
SHMEM_BASE_ADDRESS=0x1300000 PARPORT_IO_ADDRESS=0x378

plat/linux_2_0_36/bin/mmio -ini 64stepper.ini &

plat/linux_2_0_36/bin/mmtask -ini 64stepper.ini &

plat/linux_2_0_36/bin/xemc -ini 64stepper.ini

The long commands may wrap to the next line in the terminal window, that's
OK, just hit ENTER at the end. If you are using a different .ini file just
substitute the correct name, do the same if your parallel port is at a
different address. This should get the EMC started without all the fancy
error checking stuff in that script file. Let me know if you get any errors
from this procedure.
