Hi Gerrit

To answer your original question: Version 2.2 of the sequencer no longer
has the devSequencer device support. You should be able to proceed with
seq-2.2.3 by deleting the offending line from PI_GCS2Support.dbd . If
the latter file is generated by make and not a source file, remove the
line saying "DBD_whatever += devSequencer.dbd" from the Makefile. You
probably also need to remove a line that says something like "xxx_LIBS
+= devSequencer" from the Makefile.

Cheers
Ben
