Installing EPICS extensions

Structure

• Go to

Alarm Handler

• Download the tar-file from EPICS web site.
• Copy it into $EPICS_EXTENSIONS/src/ directory ad unzip it there.
• Create a symbolic link alh</a> to the newly created ALH distribution directory.
• Go into <i>$EPICS_EXTENSIONS/src/alh directory and type make.
• You may get some messages about missing libraries, in which case you need to find what is missing on your Linux system and install them. Ubuntu has all the needed packages in the repository, and I think RHEL5 has them too.
• The alh executable should be installed in $EPICS_EXTENSIONS/bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH/ directory.
