Hi,

thanks for the quick reply and help. The patch doesn't work properly on
mtx/Makefile, but I manually commented out "if ${ARCH} == "ia64" || ${ARCH} ==
"sparc64" || ${ARCH} == "amd64"" etc.

However, mtx/files/patch-Makefile.in patched correctly, and it compiled
without warnings.

The program runs like it should too. F.ex:

mtx -f /dev/pass1 inquiry
Product Type: Medium Changer
Vendor ID: 'DELL    '
Product ID: 'PV-122T         '
Revision: 'K17r'
Attached Changer: No

In my previous attempts I would get error messages with something like
"Inappropriate ioctl for device", but I haven't gotten anything like this so
far.

Excellent! Thank you very much for your help. 

with regards,
