I have the basic stamp attached to a Linux laptop.

I can tokenize my code, but i can not get it to run. The error i get
is

Error: Could not open /dev/bstamp for reading/writing!

What did i do wrong?

    I had better luck with the stamp_bc program. You can download it from
    the parallax.com site at
    http://www.parallax.com/sw/bs/unix/stampbc_124.tgz That program doesn't
    use /dev/bstamp, but any available serial port. You'll probably have to
    make some changes to the default port settings, but the tar file
    includes a nice serial port utility and instructions for how to set
    things up.

    I searched their site, nothing

    I searched the web for stampbc, again nothing.

    Try this one:

    http://www.parallax.com/dl/sw/bs/unix/stampbc_124.tgz

    If that doesn't work, go to the referring page which is:

    http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/downloads/software/software_basic_stamp.asp

    Scroll down to the Linux section, it will be the bottom of the two
    choices that reads " New! BASIC Stamp Linux Solution by Randy Hootman
    Not supported by Parallax"
