The scalcout record comes from the synApps "calc" module.  When you build streamDevice your configure/RELEASE file needs to point to CALC if you want to use that record.  The details vary between releases of streamDevice.  When you build your application you also need to include CALC if you enabled it when building streamDevice.

Ah, this finally made me look into the right place:
There was another error message always hidden outside my terminal (and not
coloured red ;-):

---
## Register all support components
dbLoadDatabase "dbd/boostik.dbd"

Looks like this prevented the initialization from happening. The lines it
complains about are

---
recordtype(scalcout) {
}
device(scalcout, INST_IO, devscalcoutStream, "stream")
---

This was created by makeBaseApp. Looks like there is something missing in
the recordtype definition. What should be there?
For testing, I just commented out these lines, and now the PROTOCOL_PATH
gets parsed correctly and everything looks nice.
