The two -Wl options (compiled-in locations for shared libraries) are

correct:

One location is the generic location, where the EPICS Base will be

installed. The other is the local directory, i.e. the location of the

Base that I'm currently linking against. This makes sure that the

libraries are found on the development machine as well as on the runtime

system (where the Base will be installed at the generic location).

Shouldn't your 'generic' path be pointing to an empty or non-existent

directory though when you're compiling? You should change that path to

/opt/epics/R3.14.8/support/base/3-14-8-0 or similar, so it will never

try to link against old libraries. The -L option *should* be pointing

to your local build tree since that gets used at compile time, but at

runtime you also want it to search the install location.
