How about a more generalized interface to the pbForth system. Although Ralph Hempel believes this to be unnecessary, I find the RcxCC interface quite appealing. Harald Striepe (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Check the permissions on /dev/ttyS1. I think the default is for it to be locked down to superuser only. If this is the case, then running nqc from a normal user account would cause the error you got.
