Thanks very much Jeff....

I think the problem is with our new Tornado 1 installation.
It seems that EPICS R.3.13.3 when rebuilt gives the same
errors.  When built with our old install it works fine.
Since we are upgrading to Tornado 2 in January I think
I will shelve this for now but may need to trace it in
the future.

Thanks for you response it was very very helpful.
