This looks like a bad excuse to me.

But if it is not, then you are not asking questions the right way, see:
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Your questions should clearly reference the part of the documentation
that you do not understand, so that we know that you have at least tried
to understand.

This is a Linux configuration issue. The aim of our documentation is to
document what to disable or enable when starting from a working Linux
configuration. If you do not know how to obtain a working Linux
configuration, I am sorry, but this is off-topic on this mailing list.
Note that if you do not know how to configure a Linux kernel, you can
find pre-compiled kernels for most distributions these days.

Could you point us to the mail you are mentioning? I browsed your mail
history and could not find this mail. Note that some objects are not
automatically destroyed, mainly "named" objects, because they can be
bound by several processes, so they survive process destruction. If your
program fails to destroy such an object, then fails to start when such
an object already exists, then it is your program that has a logic
issue, not Xenomai.

I have no problem helping beginners getting up to speed, in a few weeks
or a few months. But you have been a beginner for two years now, so,
trying and answering you seems pointless. Yes the question you asked is
fundamental, but it is so fundamental that you should have understood
the answer by yourself within the few weeks of using Xenomai:
- either by reading the documentation
- or by reading the code (this is free software, you have all the code)
- or by using common sense.

Now, if you have been unable to progress by any of these 3 means during
2 years, chances are you will never progress, so I am sorry, but again,
trying and helping you seems pointless.
