We seen this problems too with newer Ubuntu and Mint Linux distros

(other might apply too).

I think that the root problem is in the fact that "multiarch" is

supported out-of-the box on the newer versions of Linux distros. In

other words, static and dynamic libraries for certain packages (mostly

X11) end up in the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu folder (or similar) instead

of in the /usr/lib folder (where EPICS looks for them).

We solved the problem by making a soft link like this

ln -snf /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXt.a /usr/lib/libXt.a

Note the full path!

I would like to see more friendly solution in the future for this issue.

Thank you!

Also, depending on your build config,  one might need to  provide the link
from the medm source tree directory/lib

ln -f -s /usr/lib/.../libxt.a libXt.a

Cheers,

Subject: medm build

I just tried to build medm 3_1_7 using epics base-3.14.12.2 on Ubuntu
12.04. It gives an error:

   *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib64/libXt.a', needed by `medm'.

I suspect a configuration error. Any suggestions?

Pete.
