Your EPICS_BASE path above is missing a leading '/' character, which explains 
the symptoms you were reporting.  If you put spaces on both sides of the '='

That looks about right, although I haven't actually tried following his 
directions myself.  The version numbers that article mentions are in many 
cases a bit out of date now, but the techniques are generally the same.
