Hi Mauro,

Thanks for the link.

It turns out I was being a noob. For Scientific Linux 4.5 the X11

directories are still in /usr/X11R6/lib instead of /usr/lib which is

where extensionsTop is looking for them.

Simply modified the appropriate CONFIG file and it compiles fine.

Hi,

we are using CentOS 5.2 (a rebuild of RHEL like SL) about the

installation of MEDM have a look here:

About the libXm the tech-talk helps: http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2007/msg01008.php

Hope this helps
Mauro.

Dear Tech-talk,

I was hoping to get a clarification on how to compile MEDM 3.1.4 on

Scientific Linux 4.5.

I downloaded BASE 3.14.10 and then the extensionsTop_20070703 file.

MEDM does not like this combination and has an error:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libXm.a', needed by

`medm'. Stop.

I then reverted to using extensionsConfig_20040406 and

extensionsConfigure_20040406 files which worked.

Since the extensionsConfig and extensionsConfigure are no longer

officially available I am guessing the above solution isn't the

correct one.

What step(s) am I missing?

Thanks,
Bertrand
