Re: MEDM installation error on Linux Mint (libXp.a error)

You probably just needed to do:

sudo apt-get install libxp-dev

It is SOLVED.. 

I take the "libXp.a" file on Ubuntu 16.04 and copy that to the Linux Mint "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" path. And the problem is solved.

I don't know why that doesn't work in Linux Mint, but if someone has this problem, this may help..

Hi Everyone,

I have already installed Epics_Base, Medm, and some other libraries on my other computer which is Ubuntu 16.04.

For Linux Mint Mate 18, I installed base,extension package, but for MEDM, I couldn't do that. 

I have changed the extensions/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.linux-x86_64 .

I installed the libraries except libxp-dev. When I try to install this library,it says there are others libraries which refers to that. ( In Ubuntu, I couldn't also install that library). Then, I installed "libxpm-dev" and "libxmu-dev" . In Ubuntu, MEDM worked fine, but in Linux Mint, it doesn't work.

It keeps saying "libXp.a" error :
