Trying to build Asyn-4.6 on Linux.

Here's what happens (annotated logfile):

Shouldn't 'base' show up as an include directory in the call to 'dbToRecordtypeH'?  Thats where 'dbCommon.dbd' is at.

Yes, it should.

Perhaps you tried building ASYN sometime earlier before base was properly built.  The build rules then wouldn't have set up the include paths as desired.

Try doing a 'make distclean' in modules/soft/4-6 and then try rebuilding.

Andrew will now complain to me that I packaged the ASYN stuff up with a poor name.   I suggest that you rename modules/soft/4-6 to modules/soft/asyn/4-6 -- but this is not what's causing the problems

Also, I see a '~' in the above output.   I've found that EPICS is happier with full path names than with '~' shorthand for home directories.
