    Angry /dev/ttyUSB0 is missing

    Hi,

    I've deleted my /dev/ttyUSB0 ...

    1 - is there a way to restore that file?
    2 - IF Not, from where can I get it? I use UBUNTU

    thanks

    1) Yes. Look into mknod (but, to be honest, if you're using an old system that doesn't just regenerate /dev entries on boot, then you're just asking for trouble anyway).
    2) What does this have to do with C at all?

    - Compiler warnings are like "Bridge Out Ahead" warnings. DON'T just ignore them.
    - A compiler error is something SO stupid that the compiler genuinely can't carry on with its job. A compiler warning is the compiler saying "Well, that's bloody stupid but if you WANT to ignore me..." and carrying on.
    - The best debugging tool in the world is a bunch of printf()'s for everything important around the bits you think might be wrong.

    nothing. on the other hand, it does potentially have a great deal to do with linux programming.

    Only about as much as how to install a driver for a PL-2038 RS232 convertor on Windows does. Which isn't a lot. Anyway, did you fix your problem?
