Hi Emmanuel,

areaDetector has been tested on 64-bit Linux. 

mca has been tested on 64-bit Linux, but as Tim said you need to get a recent version.  6-11 that you are using is almost 2 years old.

Subject: 64-bit ioc mca issue

Hello,

I am trying to move some of my iocs to 64bit linux.
So far I have:
* seq, gensub, autosave, ipac, sscan, calc, asyn, stream,busy, std
that compiles but are not fully tested yet:

1/ Has the above software been tested on 64b?

As I continue on with mca, I get

2/ any idea how to solve that? Has mca been tested on 64b?

Next in queue is areaDetector

3/ Should I expect problem with that as well?

Thanks,
