Does the program just hang, or does it eventually (several seconds

Try 'verbose' mode and post the results:

nqc -v -d test.nqc

One possibility is that somehow the port is configured for hardware
handshaking and that is causing the open() to block.  You can check for
this case by adding a suitable printf in  PSerial_unix::Open() (in the
file platform/PSerial_unix.cpp).  Some other Unix variants (notably
IRIX) have some trouble with this...one fix is to change

  if ((fTerm = open(name, O_RDWR)) < 0) {

to

  if ((fTerm = open(name, O_RDWR | O_NDELAY)) < 0) {

I'm not sure why this matters...or why almost every other system out
there doesn't need the O_NDEALY...but its at least worth a try.

Ok, here it is: It just sits there, after sending about 5 lines of hex
code to
the RCX with that -v option. it will not send any more code after that,
no
matter how long you wait. I have not such thing as a PSerial_unix.cpp
file does
not exist. Not sure what is wrong...

Can you send me the output from nqc -v?  A lot depends on exactly what
is being sent and received.

As for PSerial_unix.cpp, you would only have that if you were building
nqc from sources.  If you've downloaded a binary rpm or some other
non-source distribution, then you won't have it.
