Re: EPICS on Mac OS X 10.5

Looks like the prototype for finite() has moved from math.h.  You'll  
have to:
a) find which header file provides this prototype (or macro) -- what  
does man finite have to say?
b) copy src/libCom/osi/os/posix/epicsMath.h to src/libCom/osi/os/ 
Darwin and add the include for the header found above
