Thanks for the incredible fast response - I will give it a try once I
get a chance.

Hi,

Looks like the prototype for finite() has moved from math.h.  You'll
have to:
a) find which header file provides this prototype (or macro) -- what
does man finite have to say?

math.h will includes architecture/{ppc,i386}/math.h.
These file defines finite but surrounded by #if shown here.
#if !defined( __STRICT_ANSI__) && !defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) &&
(!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || defined(_DARWIN_C_SOURCE))
b) copy src/libCom/osi/os/posix/epicsMath.h to src/libCom/osi/os/
Darwin

and add the include for the header found above

You may not like the idea to add:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
int finite(double);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}

into epicsMath.h in os/Darwin directory. But seems simpler in this
case.

Dear Tech-Talk,
so I am one of those Mac fanboys (at least when it comes to the OS)
who installed OS X 10.5 (Leopard) as soon as it came out.
Naturally EPICS will not compile on it - would have been surprised
if

it had. I get the following error message:
../epicsCalcTest.cpp: In function 'double doCalc(const char*)':

Did I miss something in the installation instructions?
This is with base-3.14.9 on a PPC.
Thanks,
Bertrand
