I compiled by hand the nesc-1.3.0 (the version David Gay just announced) 
and then I installed the avr rpms indicated here:
 	http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Installing_TinyOS_2.0.2#Manual_installation_on_your_host_OS_with_RPMs

When I compiled the Blink I get a funky error about missing inttytes.h (I 
have it in /usr/include/) and then a long list of errors related to 
__nesc_ntoh_*. :-( Do you know how to solve this?
