Chris:

Following up on your original message, you eventually identified and

resolved the problems you encountered when building base. In emails

offline from tech-talk, you asked about any simulated devices to test

with which to test EPICS or example files.

One very good example of a simulated device is the virtual linear

accelerator demo. Pick the most recent one from this page:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/download/examples/index.php

The package provides simulation and a GUI (probably MEDM).

Another package available on the same page provides a complete EPICS

system on a bootable image: EPICSLive.zip

Hope this helps,
   Pete

Hello all EPICS people,
I've been attempting to install EPICS to my computer running Linux Mint,
I am using an link:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2009/msg01867.php

Well I get to the 2nd instruction, namely "install base" and it says the
following when I make:

make -C ./configure install
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/chris/Documents/EPICS/base-3.15.1/configure'
perl -CSD ../src/tools/makeMakefile.pl O.linux-x86 ../..
Cannot create O.linux-x86/Makefile at ../src/tools/makeMakefile.pl line 41.
make[1]: *** [O.linux-x86] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/chris/Documents/EPICS/base-3.15.1/configure'
make: *** [configure.install] Error 2

This says that the perl command is not working for some reason, however
I know I installed perl.  Does anyone know why this is giving me an
error or have you run into this issue yourself?  Please help,
Thank you,
Chris
