RE: Problems running areaDetector to control simulation detector

["Mooney, Tim M." <mooney@aps.anl.gov>]

"medmInit: Unable to load font widgetDM_36" and others like it:

    This is not a serious problem.  I wouldn't even worry about it.

"macLib: macro CALC is undefined .." and others like it:

    You need the modules sscan, calc, and busy.  Look at
    /home/gongyu/test_areaDetector/areaDetector-master/configure/EXAMPLE_RELEASE_PRODS.local
    You need all the modules defined in that file.  (areaDetector will build without them, but the databases in 
    areaDetector need things from those modules.)  You can either build them individually, or build the synApps
    package.  All of this stuff is at http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps.

"save_restore: Can't connect to all status PV(s)":

    This is not a serious problem.  I wouldn't even worry about it.

Subject: Problems running areaDetector to control simulation detector

Hi everyone,
   I come into problems while I was trying to run the areaDetector to control a simulation detector.
   I follow the instuctions of "Using AreaDetector: Lab Handout" on http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/docs/APS2015.php.
   The areaDetector has been installed in /home/gongyu/areaDetector-master
   I copy it to a new directory /home/gongyu/test_areaDetector/

   I change to the /home/gongyu/test_areaDetector/areaDetector-master/configure/, and edit the file RELEASE_PATHS.Local, and changed the line to
   AREA_DETECTOR= /home/gongyu/test_areaDetector/areaDetector-master

   Changing to the ADCore directory, and issue the following command:
   make -sj clean uninstall
   make -sj
   (I do not know if the option -j is needed, but I follow it)

   Changing to the directory
   /home/gongyu/test_areaDetector/areaDetector-master/ADCore/iocs/simDetectorIOC/iocBoot/iocSimDetector
   Edit st.cmd, change the line:
   epicsEnvSet("PREFIX", "SIM_1:")

   Then, I issue the command:
   medm -x -macro "P=SIM_1:, R=cam1:" simDetector.adl &
   and it shows that

I do not know why it is Unable to load font widgetDM_XX.

I just change to the directory /home/gongyu/ImageJ, double click the icon ImageJ.
(At this time, There is a warning in my os: SELinux is preventing ImageJ from loading /home/gongyu/ImageJ/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so which requires text relocation. I do not know if it will influence the latter processing)

Then, in the directory:
/home/gongyu/test_areaDetector/areaDetector-master/ADCore/iocs/simDetectorIOC/iocBoot/iocSimDetector,
cp envPaths envPaths.linux
then, I issue the command:
../../bin/linux-x86/simDetectorApp st.cmd.linux
There is another problem, the results are listed below:

# The EPICS environment variable EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES needs to be set to a value at least as large

# The variable can be set in the environment before running the IOC or it can be set here.
# It is often convenient to set it in the environment outside the IOC to the largest array any client

I do not know what it means and how to solve this problem.
The areaDetector and medm are installed in the same computer (i.e. in my laptop. medm is a client, and areaDetector is a server, I do not know if my understanding is correct?).
I did not set the The EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST and EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST variables (I don't know how to set these variables when areaDetector and medm are in the same computer?).
EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES is set to 4154000 (I don't know how many pixels and dynamic range of the simulation detector)
EPICS_DISPLAY_PATH is set to /home/gongyu/EPICS/adls
ImageJ is in /home/gongyu/ImageJ

My letter is lengthy with so many questions, I hope someone could help me. Thank you in advance.
