Hi BOB,

I built the Pelegant and sdds with lots of your helps. It works. thanks.
But I still have one problem. When I do sddsplot, it complains "sh: mpl_motif: command not found". Any library package missed the cluster (RHEL5)? Do I need to re-compile sdds?

thanks,
Yuantao

mpl_motif should have been built with sddsplot. Can you go to epics/extensions/src/SDDS/SDDSaps/sddsplot/motifDriver/ and type "make clean all". It will either build mpl_motif or it will print out an error message that you can send me. If it does build mpl_motif, then you just need to make sure that it is your PATH because sddsplot expects it to be in your PATH.

Hi Bob,

it didn't compile correctly. see the attached file for the error message.

thanks,

It is complaining about the png library not being found. We do include an png library with SDDS that you can build for systems that don't have it. Just cd to epics/extensions/src/SDDS/png/ and they make this directory. After that go back up one directory and type make again and it should find the png library now.

I still cannot make it work.

If I follow the steps to install Pelegant, it goes smoothly without error. but the sddsplot doesn't work due to mpl-motif command not found.
Then I go to /png/ and make, then go back up to /SDDS/, type make, it shows some errors of underfined references about MPI related issues. But if I "make clean" first, then 'make -j 4' it works without error. But still sddsplot doesn't work.

Then I go to /png/, make, and go to the /sddsplot/motifDriver, and make, it still has the same error message as before.

I am placing a pre-built mpl_motif on the web site for you to download. It is at:
http://www.aps.anl.gov/asd/oag/downloads/mpl_motif

One quick note. I see that you were using the -j option to build our software. We don't support this and I know that it will fail under certain conditions.

Thank you Bob. now it works with your prebuilt mpl_motif.
good weekend,
Yuantao
