Hi Andre,

I hope you realize that Base 3.15.0.1 is a development release that should not 
be used for operational systems.  It may cause build problems like the ones 
you've reported with external modules that have not yet been modified to work 
with it.  Unless you are particularly wanting to try out the new features you 
might find it easier to use the 3.14.12.2 release for learning EPICS.
