Hi Jess,

	download ecos-2.0.i386linux.tar.bz2 from 
ftp://ecos.sourceware.org/pub/ecos/releases/ecos-2.0/

	untar, you'll get ecos-2.0 directory

	create a build directory anywhere else than in
ecos-2.0 directory.

	do /path/to/ecos-2.0/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=/opt

(if your target is arm-elf)

	then make , make install

	once installed, you have to set the
ECOS_REPOSITORY variable to point to the ecos.db file path,
this give, on my workstation;

export ECOS_REPOSITORY="/opt/ecos-2.0/packages"



	then, you can run ecosconfig from the binary dir;

bash-2.05b lnx0029563 /opt/bin/ecosconfig
Usage: ecosconfig [ qualifier ... ] [ command ]
  commands are:
