Hi Martin,

This is because you are using a new version of the sequencer that breaks backwards compatibility in C functions that use seq_pvPut and seqPvGet.

I have not tried 2.2.0.2.

The last tech-talk message on this topic that I could find was this one:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2014/msg01408.php

As I read that Ben was considering rolling back the breaking incompatibilities, so we have not modified the motor code to use the new syntax.

Can you roll back to a previous release of the sequencer?

Mark

Hey Mark,

i tried and failed to compile your motion controller R6-8-1.

I tried on two different PCs with different systems without any success.

First OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Compiler: gcc 4.8.2

Second OS: Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug)
Compiler: gcc 4.8.3 20140911

On both systems the following software/modules are installed:
-EPICS base-3.14.12.4
-asyn4-24
-busy-1-6-1
-ipac-2.11 
-seq-2.2.0.2 

The compiler shows following:
