IO library fails to initialize (linux)

[SoBot]

I am running Xubuntu on my roboard with Eclipce installed for C/C++ development. I am able to compile and run the following code:

#include <roboard>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

cout << "Roboard test program" << endl;
if (rcservo_Initialize(RCSERVO_USECHANNEL0))
{
rcservo_Outp(17, 1);
cout << "setting pin high"<< endl;
rcservo_Close();
} else cout << roboio_GetErrMsg();
return 0;
}


but for some reason the IO library won't initialize. This is the output:

Roboard test program
I/O library fails to initialize

What can be the reason for this?
