Looks like that’s exactly what it was, installing readline fixed the issue (I don’t know how I missed this in the documentation). Thank you.

I think your error is here:

 

`/root/bin/epics/base/src'

../../../src/libCom/osi/os/default/epicsReadline.c:76:31: error: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory

 

 

It cannot find readline.h.  That is a system file.  I suspect you have not installed the “readline” package on your Linux system.  You need to do so before you build base.

Hello,

 

I am trying to get a sample epics application built on a openSuse 11 host. When I got to build epics base I get a compile error (I attached the make log). What’s strange is that I do have a previous epics installation that I was playing with that builds just fine. However, I wanted to start from scratch on this and I’m stuck as to what I am missing.

 

In addition to the log file I uploaded my epics base directory here (1.5 MB):

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
