Compile SDDS and Elegant on Debian 7

Post by NicolaCarmignani » 06 Jan 2015, 05:38

Hello,
I'm trying to compile Elegant and the SDDS toolkit on Debian 7 operative system.
I'm following the installation guide: http://www.aps.anl.gov/Accelerator_Syst ... inux.shtml
When I type make in epics/extensions/src/SDDS, I obtain this error:

Code: Select all

make[2]: Entering directory `/mntdirect/_users/carmigna/epics/extensions/src/SDDS/SDDSaps/sddsplots/motifDriver/O.linux-x86_64'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libXt.a', needed by `mpl_motif'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mntdirect/_users/carmigna/epics/extensions/src/SDDS/SDDSaps/sddsplots/motifDriver/O.linux-x86_64'
make[1]: *** [install.linux-x86_64] Error 2
How could I solve this problem?

Thanks,
Nicola Carmignani

You are missing the libxt-dev system package.
I have updated the software page with links to prebuild Debian 7.7 versions of SDDS and Elegant packages so that you don't have to build these yourself.
