I hope this configuration is not too deviant! I'm not very happy with it -- I don't see any significant advantage to using a different layout on the target, and several disadvantages: It will cause confusion (it already did!) for anyone moving between architectures or trying to give help via tech-talk. It's less flexible than using the same directory structure would be - /opt/epics must be installed using your scripts, it can't be an actual copy of EPICS Base that is NFS-mounted from a server for instance. The /opt/epics directory will not be correctly recognized as an EPICS top directory by either of the makeBaseApp.pl or convertRelease.pl scripts, which will cause problems when creating and compiling support and IOC applications. That might not be a problem for Libera boxes if they aren't capable of self-hosting (I don't know whether they can be), but there are self-hosting ARM-based Linux systems out there and I don't want any special rules for these. Please seriously consider changing your installed directory structure to mirror the standard EPICS directory configuration, it will make life much easier in the long run if we keep everything homogenous. - Andrew -- There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists -- Yosemite National Park Ranger
