Hi everybody,

I´ve been trying to install the NI pxi6259 card EPICS drivers provided
with the CODAC Core system 3.0 public release and I´ve found some trouble.
I´ve tried to manually compile (make) the "m-epics-pxi6259/src/main/epics"
and i get the following error:

[root@localhost epics]# make

The .h files from "m-epics-pxi6259/src/main/epics/ni6259App/lib" were
copied to $EPICS_BASE/include.
By the way, the 6259 drivers for Linux worked fine.
Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your help
