built CDEmu code...can't mount an image-because I can't start daemon
 
Hi. I recently built the following items of cdemu from the svn repository: libmirage, vhba-module, the daemon, and the client. I have the library installed, the kernel module loading on boot-up of my system, but aside from that, I can't seem to figure out how to use the client.

I have tried manually starting the daemon a couple of times, but can never get past that part. I can't remember the exact error offhand (away from home comp right now) but it was something to the effect of not being able to create the virtual device "0" in /dev.

What is the proper way to start the cdemu daemon?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks. Also, I use Debian Lenny.

Hi. I figured it out. At first I thought the vhba_ctl device was not created, but as it turns out, I just needed to give my user rw permissions for the device since it is configured to use the session bus (I was trying to do as root as didn't understand why I didn't work - from my user acct). Anyways, the answers were all right there in the documentation, but I hope this helps someone who is having a similar problem!
