[modules-dev] B22 modules project build failure

[Stephen J. McConnell]

Andreas:

Thanks for the hint about libraries - that got me over the last hump.

I've now completed a successful build under ubuntu 7.10.  In addition to
the packages mentioned in the readme, I had to install the following two
additional packages:

  libxtst-dev
  libxi-dev

Cheers, Steve.
