runtime error

[Jeffrey G. Ubalde]

Good Day!
  I'm a first time user of gnokii and I have a couple of inquiries ....

when i test gnokii it returns an error like this

address@hidden gnokii-0.6.2]# gnokii --monitor
GNOKII Version 0.6.2
Telephone interface init failed: Device not ready.
Quitting.


can someone kindly show me the light on making gnokii run :). i have
read a lot of resources regarding gnokii but I can't seem do it right. i
would gladly send information regarding my set-up to help troubleshoot
my problem.

Thanks in advance...




here is what i did.

upon installing gnokii, I haven't encountered any compile errors and at
the end of the configure part  (by issuing ./autogen.sh) I receive a
message like 

    Host system:        linux-gnu
    Gnokii version:     0.6.2
    Xgnokii version:    20030104
    X (GTK) support:    no
    Debug:              yes
    XDebug:             yes
    RLPDebug:           yes
    NLS:                no
    IrDA:               yes
    ical read support:  no
    Bluetooth:          no
    Security:           no
    Build Shared Lib:   yes
    Build Static Lib:   yes
    Win32:              no
    Prefix:             /usr/local

and after that i issue a 'make'
then i add a group 'gnokii'
then make install
make install-suid
make install-strip
make install-ss
make install-docs


installation looks to run smoothly but the above error still shows up.
(Telephone interface init failed: Device not ready.
Quitting.)


I use RedHat 9.0, N6150, and a serial cable
