Hi,

 

 

I just installed pyepics on my mac, followed the instruction but got an error message when running a script.

Can you help me to find the bug?

 

Here is what I have done: 

I installed epics base 3.15.4 and make in the folder

I run the command NOLIBCA=1 pip install pyepics

Then run the script and then got the following error:

 

python DTU_acquisition_script.py
