Hello Kate

 

At DLS we build and run EDM on Red Hat 9.0.  We are currently using EDM version 1.10.1w, built against EPICS R3.14.6; (I usually upgrade our EDM version every six months or thereabouts, so it’s getting time for an upgrade.)

 

Regards

Steve

sucessfully ?   What platform and version is used in DLS of UK ?

In Redhat 7.2 libXm.so.2 is provided by the lesstif-0.92.32-6.i386.rpm
package and no libXm.so.3 library file is provided by default. However I
have found this version of lesstif to be flakey

Me, too.  I found so a while ago running medm.
That was why I removed it and installed openmotif-devel-2.2.2-5,
and  openmotif-2.2.2-5 on my laptop (actually  RedHat7.3).
Do you use 'edm'  on RedHat7.2 ?  One thing I have to modify is to add
USR_INCLUDES += -I$(MOTIF_INC)
in edm/pvFactory/Makefile.Host.
 

However, I  tried another PC (RedHat7.2, openmotif-2.1.30-8)
which supplied  libXm.so.2.  I go error message:
/ade/epics/supTop/extensions/R3.14.0beta1/lib/linux-x86/lib605432d2-f29d-11d2-973b-00104b8742df.so: undefined symbol: createWidgets__18activeGraphicClass
However,  it seems all the listed dependencies are installed
by verifying : ldd lib605432d2-f29d-11d2-973b-00104b8742df.so
 

We have been running medm on both PCs happily for years.  It
is nice that edm provides extra capabilities.   If I know what
platform  edm  was tested, it will help me to identify
what  steps I missed.
 

Thanks,
Kate

and would recommend to
remove it and replace it with the Redhat 7.3 openmotif-2.2.2-5.i386.rpm,
openmotif-devel-2.2.2-5.i386.rpm and openmotif21-2.1.30-1.i386.rpm
packages. The openmotif package provides the libXm.so.3 library while
the openmotif21 package provides the libXm.so.2 library.
