Installing EDM on OS X 10.4.10

["Bertrand H.J. Biritz" <bbiritz@ucla.edu>]

Dear Tech-talk,

in the post about getting MEDM to run on Fedora Core 7 I commented  
that I could not get EDM to run on my Mac or Linux machines.

Since then I have been offered assistance by Eric Norum and Ernest  
Williams on fixing this problem.

Right now I am trying to get EDM to run on my PowerBook G4 (1.67GHz)  
Mac running 10.4.10.

Thus far I have tried the following:

downloaded the latest EDM source (edm-1-11-0ze) and followed the  
instructions outlined in the README.install file:

I had already installed openmotif (2.2.2.-5), libungif (4.1.4-1) and  
libpng (libpng3 1:1.2.12-4) during a previous attempt using fink -  
should I use darwinports instead?

I then ran make without any errors.

Set up the environmental variables as mentioned in the file (using  
Eric's example as a guide):

EDMBASE=/usr/local/epics/extensions/src/edm
EDMFILES=/usr/local/epics/extensions/src/edm/edmMain/
EDMHELPFILES=/usr/local/epics/extensions/src/edm/helpFiles/
EDMOBJECTS=/usr/local/epics/extensions/src/edm/setup/
EDMPVOBJECTS=/usr/local/epics/extensions/src/edm/setup/

I tried running EDM, but still get a bus error message.

Once that didn't work I tried running the setup.sh script (modifying  
the .so to .dylib as Eric suggested) and got the following error  
message:

sh setup.sh
*
* Your LD_LIBRARY_PATH must be set and contain
* the path to your EPICS base's
* lib/HOST_ARCH resp. lib/EPICS_HOST_ARCH directory
* so that we can use the CA, Com, ... libraries!
* It might also need to include the Motif libraries.
*
Setting up EDM base directory: /usr/local/epics/extensions/src/edm

setup.sh: line 80:  2710 Bus error               $EDM -add $EDMBASE/ 
pvFactory/O.$ODIR/libPV.dylib

I did include the EPICS libraries

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/epics/ 
base-3.14.8.2/lib/darwin-ppc/

As a final attempt I modified the Makefile in edmMain per Eric's  
suggestion:

change
   edm_LIBS_Darwin += EdmBase cfcaa62e-8199-11d3-a77f-00104b8742df
to
   edm_LIBS_Darwin += Com EdmBase cfcaa62e-8199-11d3-a77f-00104b8742df

then ran make once more with sadly the same resulting bus error.

Hopefully, there is something simple that I am missing when trying to  
run EDM.

Thanks for the quick replies to my initial "on the side comment",
