Comment 26 for bug 465055

As a recent convert this problem would have sent me back to M$. It is only by the help of DLUG members that I've persisted with Linux, please,please sort this out. My Lide 50 worked with 9.04 so why doesn't it in 9.10? It's no good telling people to try this or try that then compile - no good if your new and have very little programming experience.
Error in I/O does not mean a thing - what I/O? where? how?
