While compiling either of quadEM-R9-2-1 or quadEM-R9-4 with EPICS bas-7.0.7 in Centos 9 Stream, I was getting the following narrowing conversion error:

../drvTetrAMM.cpp: In member function ‘void drvTetrAMM::readThread()’:

I resolved the errors by changing line #193 of quadEM-R9-2-1 or line #191 of quadEM-R9-4 from

long long lastValue;

to

unsigned long long lastValue;

I hope this will be helpful to someone getting similar errors.

Thanks,
