I recently built epics 3.13beta11 for solaris and am trying to get going
with gdct313, which I obtained prebuilt from the solaris platform
developers site.
However, the first step seems to be a doozy. When I start up gdct313 in
<epics base>/dbd, I get the following error messages:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using dbd include path /usr/local/epics/3.13/base/dbd
Error "menu not found"  Last token ")"
input line:             menu(menuScan)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After this I get normal looking reports that it has read the rest of the
.dbd files. I would appreciate a hint as to what is going on here.
