Re: EDM in RHEL8 or Centos8

["Williams Jr., Ernest L. via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Ernesto,

How is it going?

Our production systems are using mainly RHEL6 and RHEL7.

I have started looking ahead to RHEL 8.

What version of EDM are you using there?

Please provide more detail:

1. Version of EPICS
2. Version of EDM
3. Version of giflib

Here is what I have on my centos8 box:

OS = CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core)

EPICS BASE = 7.0.3.1

EDM = 1.12.105B

GIFLIB = giflib-devel-5.1.4-3.el8.x86_64

Looks like we have a problem.

Here is my error message:
