Hi, Jincheol.

Could you send the following:

  /usr/local/epics/R3.14.8.2/base/include/dbCommon.h
  /usr/local/epics/R3.14.8.2/base/include/epicsTime.h

I'm wondering if the error you're seeing for dbCommon.h is because the
compiler doesn't know about the epicsTimeStamp type yet?

Also, have you considered using EPICS Base 3.14.11 instead?  EPICS Base
3.14.8.2 is quite old.  If you have a reason for using it, OK.  But
otherwise it would be *much better* to use EPICS Base 3.14.11.

Lewis
