Post code within [code][/code] tags please. There's an option in Advanced mode to assist with that.

Check your ERRNO value after the call to open(). You likely need to be root. I usually only use O_RDWR and O_NONBLOCK. Also you might want to check and see what O_NDELAY is defined to be, it's possible that O_NONBLOCK equals O_NDELAY.
