Hello,

I've seen similar messages to mine, but have yet to see a solution.

When I try to run msp430-jtag I get these errors (or similar):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/msp430/bin/msp430-jtag", line 16, in ?
from msp430 import memory, jtag
File "/opt/msp430/lib/python2.3/site-packages/msp430/jtag.py", line 58, in
?
MSP430mspgcc = ctypes.cdll.MSP430mspgcc
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes/__init__.py", line 390, in
__getattr__
dll = self._dlltype(name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes/__init__.py", line 315, in
__init__
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: MSP430mspgcc: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

I am using Fedora 8 and have installed
msp430tools-jtag-lib-20031101cvs-20050610.i386.rpm

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Looks like it can't find some shared library

try to type:
export LIBMSPGCC_PATH=/usr/local/lib
in the shell before running msp430-jtag
