    If anyone else encounters this 'rxtx' problem, edit config.xml.
LogToConsole should be true
LogLevel should be DEBUG or ALL

    When you try to start Drivewire4, it will print the 'rxtx lib
path'. Mine prints '/home/chrish/DriveWire4/native/Linux/i386', but
'uname' says the arch is i686. Go figure...
