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:
     list                                       : list repository contents
     new TARGET [ TEMPLATE [ VERSION ] ]        : create a configuration
     target TARGET                              : change the target 
hardware
     template TEMPLATE [ VERSION ]              : change the template
     add PACKAGE [ PACKAGE ... ]                : add package(s)
     remove PACKAGE [ PACKAGE ... ]             : remove package(s)
     version VERSION PACKAGE [ PACKAGE ... ]    : change version of 
package(s)
     export FILE                                : export minimal config

     import FILE                                : import additional config 
info
     check                                      : check the configuration
     resolve                                    : resolve conflicts
     tree                                       : create a build tree
