 Andrew,

    Probably a dumb question, but why did the unzipped/untarred "baseR3.14.11.tar.gz" change periods in the EPICS top directory name to dashes?

    Version R3.14.10 and before used R3.14.10
    and 
    Version R3.14.11 uses R3-14-11
as the top directory name.

    Currently modifying facility application compile scripts to replace the periods with dashes in an effort to upgrade to R3.14.11.  Was not hard to find, just very confusing.

Thanks,

Congratulations, you found the first bug in Base R3.14.11!  We obviously didn't test the INSTALL_LOCATION configuration option properly before the release, for which I apologize.

Apply the attached patch to your src/softIoc/Makefile to fix the problem.
