(please use the "plain" text, much easier to answer).

Hi, Peter, I think you misread the error message. There is no error about 
initialize_equipment(), the error is about interrupt_configure(). initialize_equipment() is just 
one of the functions that calls it.

The cause of the error most likely is a mismatch between the declaration of 
interrupt_configure() in mfe.h and the definition of this function in your program (in 
feMotor.c, I guess).

Sometimes this mismatch is hard to identify just by looking at the code.

One fool-proof method to debug this is to extract the actual function prototypes from your 
object files, both the declaration ("U") in mfe.o and the definition ("T") in your program 
should be identical:

nm feMotor.o |  grep -i interrupt | c++filt
0000000000000f90 T interrupt_configure(int, int, long) <--- should be this

nm ~/packages/midas/lib/libmfe.a | grep -i interrupt | c++filt
U interrupt_configure(int, int, long)

If they are different, you adjust your program until they match. One way to ensure the 
match is to copy the declaration from mfe.h into your program.

K.O.

			<p>&nbsp;I guess the the aforementioned DAQ frontend compiles because 
its equipment definitions don&#39;t call on the function `initialize_equipment()&#39;, but I 
can&#39;t figure out why it doesn&#39;t work. Help is appreciated. P.K.</p>
