I have a problem with the library /lib/spe_pio_lib,
which is supplied with the Serial-Parallel Expansion
board.

The problem is that the library seems not to be
accessible by programs which use spe_$pio functions.

I've added a line "lib spe_pio_lib" to /etc/sys.conf.

"llib -a" shows /lib/spe_pio_lib.

"las -a" shows /lib/spe_sio_lib and /lib/spe_sio_int_lib,
but not /lib/spe_pio_lib.

esa 'spe_$pio_init' and esa 'spe_$pio_cleanup' both
output "Symbol is known, but not loaded".

When I run /systest/spe/pio_test, with no loopback
connector, I get :
"?(SPE pio_test) Problem opening stream to pio line -
SPE controller or SW not installed (library/spe driver)
OS status: SPE controller or SW not installed (library/spe driver)"
If the loopback connector is in place for the test, pio_test
gets a segmentation fault in spe_$pio_loopback line 428,
from pio_test line 86.

Using bind and inlib have no effect, except that
an extra entry is added to the output of llib.

Thanks for your help,

Don Isdale
