Dear Keith,

 I want to share my experience to compile MEDM 3.1.7 and my system is

Debian 3.2.35-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Testing). According to your email, I

changed only X11_LIB in CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.linux-x86_64 as follows :

  X11_LIB=/usr/lib64/x86_64-linux-gnu

  That resolved the following compile errors

make[2]: *** No rule to make target

`../../../../lib/linux-x86_64/libXt.a', needed by `medm'. Stop.

make[2]: Leaving directory

`/home/jhlee/epics/extensions/src/medm3_1_7/medm/O.linux-x86_64'

make[1]: *** [install.linux-x86_64] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jhlee/epics/extensions/src/medm3_1_7/medm'
make: *** [medm.install] Error 2

  Thank you,

  Jeong Han Lee

Dear Ivan
	There is a much easier way, appropriate way to do this

   In extensions/configure/os modify the appropriate CONFIG_SITE file
  ( in your case, CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86.linux-x86 )

# Ubuntu 12 on 32-bit has X11 at /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu, Motif at /usr/lib
X11_LIB=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
X11_INC=/usr/include/X11
MOTIF_LIB=/usr/lib
MOTIF_INC=/usr/include

recent versions of MEDM (3.1.7) and StripTool (2.5.15.0) conform to used these symbols.

I had to modify an older Probe (1.7.0) Makefile to put Xp_DIR in X11-LIB, but I believe
a recent correction resolves that as well.

Hi,
Just in case anyone is having problems compiling MEDM on Ubuntu1204, here are some tips:
MEDM compile expects some library files in /usr/lib
Ubuntu1204 puts these files in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
so one needs the following symbolic links in /usr/lib, MEDM then compiles:
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXm.a /usr/lib/libXm.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXt.a /usr/lib/libXt.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXp.a /usr/lib/libXp.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXmu.a /usr/lib/libXmu.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.a /usr/lib/libX11.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXext.a /usr/lib/libXext.a
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXm.so /usr/lib/libXm.so

Remember to install the following package for the larger fonts used by MEDM to work on Ubuntu1204:
  apt-get install xfonts-100dpi

For StripTool you also need:
  ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXpm.a /usr/lib/libXpm.a
