For my system (Debian 6, 64bit), I installed the following packages

libxt-dev libmotif-dev x11proto-print-dev libxmu-headers libxp-dev

libxmu-dev libxmu6

by using the aptitude command

aptitude install libxt-dev libmotif-dev x11proto-print-dev

libxmu-headers libxp-dev libxmu-dev libxmu6

for my MEDM installation. I hope it will help if you are using Debian

based distributions.

Thanks,
Jeong Han

We seen this problems too with newer Ubuntu and Mint Linux distros
(other might apply too).

I think that the root problem is in the fact that "multiarch" is
supported out-of-the box on the newer versions of Linux distros. In
other words, static and dynamic libraries for certain packages (mostly
X11) end up in the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu folder (or similar) instead
of in the /usr/lib folder (where EPICS looks for them).

We solved the problem by making a soft link like this

ln -snf /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXt.a /usr/lib/libXt.a

Note the full path!

I would like to see more friendly solution in the future for this issue.

Thank you!

One need to install the libxt-dev package, too for the development
header.
Also, depending on your build config,  one might need to  provide the
link
from the medm source tree directory/lib

ln -f -s /usr/lib/.../libxt.a libXt.a

Cheers,
Kate

You need to install the libXt package on Linux.

Subject: medm build

I just tried to build medm 3_1_7 using epics base-3.14.12.2 on Ubuntu
12.04. It gives an error:

   *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib64/libXt.a', needed by `medm'.

I suspect a configuration error. Any suggestions?

Pete.
