Hi,

this may be a simple problem, but I'm stuck:

I just installed epics base and extensions on a Linux PC
Debian distribution (kernel version 2.0.33), with X11R6...
The make executed with some warnings.

The I got the medm2_3_4a tar file and tried a make. Make complained about the
missing files Xc.h, Meter.h and so on from the xc directory. I found that the
directories graphX anf xc are not in the tar file. I then got the older
medm_1_14_97.tar file and replaced the extracted medm directory with the one
from the medm2_3_4a distribution. Then I started the make. The graphX and xc
directories were properly handled. The first problem then came in compiling
eventHandler.c - the constants osfXK_Left ... are not defined. The generic
ones XK_Left are found in the keysym.h file in the /usr/X11R6/include/X11
directory. But the #include was missing in the c source. I put it in and
was able to continue with the make up to the medmBar.c file.
Here the complaint is the missing declaration of XcNdecorations which can not
be found in the xc directory nor in the X11 directories.
 This all seems a bit suspicious to me - what am I missing here?

Third problem, what am I supposed to do with the stubXrtGraph file? Put it
by hand in the medmCartesianPlot.c file? There is no #ifdef XrtGraph in that?
