setting interpreter in EPICS

[Ana Malagon <amalagon@uw.edu>]

Hi,

I'm using an external library in EPICs application; this library requires a newer compiler version than I have on my system (needs glibc 2.15 to run but my Debian system has 2.13). Long story short, I have installed the newer compiler in a separate folder, but now need to figure out how to invoke this compiler when building the IOC. 

I've been following the instructions here to update my compiler and they suggest using a program called patchelf to set the interpreter correctly for programs. I'm not sure how this would translate to EPICS, as there is no executable - does anyone have experience using different versions of glibc with EPICS and know what I should do in this case?

Thanks very much,

Ana
