i just tried to get my spyder2 work under Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64. I installed argyllV0.70Beta8_linux_x86_bin.zip I used the Xss-Lib from the i386 repos. (Copied to /usr/lib32). But it is not able to use my spyder2:

Looks like the instrument accepted the PLD pattern. The md5 sum looks OK.

Looks like it timed out on trying to take a dummy reading. No idea why.

Sorry, I can't suggest much. It appears to communicate, but not well enough to work. This instrument struggles under Linux for some reason (I have to use a hack to get it to work at all due to USB data phase issues). Something to do with the USB driver, cable or card ? Graeme Gill.
