Hi,

On MacOSX 10.5, finite() is declared
extern int finite ( double );                   /* Legacy API: please
use C99 isfinite() instead. */

but not
extern "C" int finite(double);

This seems causing the error shown by Biritz-san.

1) replace call to finite with call to isfinite.
or
2) add
extern "C" int finite(double);

in somewhere in epicsCalcTest.cpp.

eliminates the error message.
