Jeffrey,
  The vrpn server binaries should not conflict with each other, but there
are likely dependencies on the particular haptic device driver version
that you're running that may create problems. Which haptic drivers are
you running, and what OS version?

Cheers,

I saw on the board earlier that there was a binary already built so I downloaded all of those files into one folder and attempted to run vrpn server with my device. It can read the config file and opens vrpn_phantom.
