Hello Tomas,

No I did not rename the file. However, when doing the 'make' it attempts 
to run the alarm.lua file. Which I suppose is generally expected and it 
calls the lalarm.so.

So according to what you wrote I renamed the lalarm.so  (its original 
name) to alarm.so. Now it works.

So, yes you did help. :)

Thanks.

Jimmie
