I am attempting to upload the stock Blink sketch using the Arduino IDE in Fedora Core 15 Linux. I get this error:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
To recreate the issue:
I tried these same exact steps in Windows XP, and the upload was successful, so I must not have Fedora configured correctly.
I followed the Arduino Playground instructions, installing the client using yum
and adding my user ID to the groups uucp, lock and dialout.
I did not follow the RXTX fixup—Link the proper files part of the guide, since the given command did not return any matches: find ~ -name librxtxSerial.so -o -name RXTXcomm.jar | grep -v Download
Since this question was posted, a new stable version of Arduino has been released. They are now on 1.0, and it works in Fedora Core Linux 16. It can be downloaded from the Downloads page.
