Hi,
Just for your information.

The Gateway builds OK with Linux.  Our main Gateway at the APS, in fact,
runs on Linux.

I have build gateway, "PV Gateway Version 2.0.0.0Beta12", for EPICS
3.14.7 on MacOSX (darwin-ppc).

I needed to modify a couple of files , getResoruces.h:
*** 40,45 ****
--- 40,46 ----
  #define GATE_MAX_PVLIST_LINE_LENGTH 1024u

+ #include <stdio.h>
  #include <string.h>
 #ifdef WIN32
and gateway.cc:
--- /xdata/epics/R314/extensions/src/gateway/gateway.cc Wed Feb 9
10:50:53 2005

*** 1282,1288 ****

// Child

// Make this process a session leader

#if defined UNIX

! setpgrp();

#else

setpgrp(0,0);

#endif

--- 1282,1288 ----

#if defined UNIX

! setpgrp(0,0);

#else

setpgrp(0,0);

I would suggest you get the latest Gateway (Beta 18) from the CVS snapshots
(not the point releases):
http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/download/extensions/index.php#cvs
I haven't tested old versions of the Gateway with new versions of base, but

other people have reported problems building with 3.14.7 and earlier Gateway

versions. Beta18 and 3.14.7 is what we are using, and we are not having

problems.
