Option 2 is reportedly broken and last I heard, it is not recommended to do an install from the head of the emc2 tree.
That's right. For BDI systems, I think the best way to try emc2 is to use "run in place". This won't write any files outside of the emc2 directory, so you won't "overwrite" anything. After checking out the HEAD or TESTING version of emc2, and installing the additional development packages needed, you configure and build it like this: cd emc2/src ./configure --enable-run-in-place make && sudo make install Then, in the emc2 directory you run scripts/emc2 and can choose a configuration file from the menu. One of the two machines I use to develop AXIS is BDI4. I test AXIS against emc2, as well as Paul's version of emc. If you run into problems building or using emc2 on a bdi4 system, the developers of emc2 would like to know about it. Jeff
