Yes, RoadRunner is independent of rr/idxp. RoadRunner is a modular framework for use in development 
of network applications. And rr/idxp is such a module to implement the Intrusion Detection eXchange
Protocol using RoadRunner.

Did you start the server? (examples/simple-server). If you start simple-server in one xterm
and the simple-client program in the other. You should see that the server outputs
"Received a MSG frame: 'Hello World!'" each time you run the client.

More debug output can be enabled like this "export RR_DEBUG=2" or "export RR_DEBUG=all"

Most of the documentation currenty available for roadrunner and rr/idxp can be found here:

http://rr.codefactory.se/doc/

Most of it is low level reference manuals. The RR/IDXP reference manual isn't available online 
but it will be build at compile time if you have gtkdoc installed.
