Thanks for your help.

Is there something that needs to be done to program the GPIO pins as  
outputs? Also, the "output bit numbers" (values put into "ledxb") are  
not obvious. The 4801 manual shows the pc87366 pins mapped to GPIO  
pins, with several apparent typos (GPIO24 and GPIO26 are listed  
twice). I've tried both versions below, but neither seems to work.  
Also, the error led is "20", which if the pc87366 bit numbers are  
used would be GPIO 0 on pin #3. Although I can flash the error led,  
NONE of the GPIO pins on JP5 are moving

			//led2b = 20;		// if using pc87366 GPIO 20
                         led2b = 0;		// if using GPIO 0
                         led2 = led_create(led_func, &led2b, "gpio0");

                         //led3b = 21;
			led3b = 1;
                         led3 = led_create(led_func, &led3b, "gpio1");

A little more help would be greatly appreciated
