Actually, I did not intend to suggest one of the 2 solution in my
message. I just would like to let Ling know about the two options.

I guess that Ling did not rebuild Ptolemy from scratch and simply
installed the ptolemy-bin-* package which does not include object files.
This is fine for simply using Ptolemy but not for rebuilding pigiRpc.

Under RedHat (x86) Linux it is not necessary to recompile everything or
parts to get the object files because I provided different packages and
some of them already contain the object files. My installation notes
(which I referred to in my last message) also contain information on
which packages are required for what. Among others they say:
* If you will install the packages
ptolemy-source-0.7.1p1-x.i386.rpm
ptolemy-other_source-0.7.1p1-x.i386.rpm
ptolemy-built_source-0.7.1p1-x.i386.rpm
ptolemy-devel_bin-0.7.1p1-x.i386.rpm
then you will have the same status (all the files) as if you
have
completely rebuilt the whole Ptolemy distribution with DLLs.
* If you will install the packages
ptolemy-source-0.7.1p1-x.i386.rpm
ptolemy-other_source-0.7.1p1-x.i386.rpm
ptolemy-built_source-0.7.1p1-x.i386.rpm
ptolemy-devel_debugbin-0.7.1p1-x.i386.rpm
then you will have the same status (all the files) as if you
have
completely rebuilt the whole Ptolemy distribution with debug
information.
Because the full DLL version and the debug version of the binaries
(and object files) reside in different directories, they can be
installed
at the same time without overwriting each other. This allows to use
the
debug and non-debug version at the same time, which may be useful
for
developing. If you have installed more than one binary package
then you can select the version you want to use as follows:
Set 'PTARCH=linux' if you want to use the DLL version.
Set 'PTARCH=linux.debug' if you want to use the debug version.
Then set 'PATH=$PTOLEMY/bin:$PTOLEMY/bin.$PTARCH:$PATH' to prepend
the correct path and finally do 'export PTARCH PATH'.

BTW, the RedHat Package Manager (RPM) will make sure that the
non-Ptolemy DLLs (system DLLs) used by Ptolemy RPMs will match
(otherwise they will not install). The ptolemy-*-10.i386.rpm packages
should work correctly for all RedHat 6.x distributions (6.0, 6.1, 6.2).
IMHO, it make sense to recompile everything from scratch only if
a) downloading the RPMs takes too long and you are familiar with
rebuilding Ptolemy or
b) if you have made essential changes to your RedHat system distribution
(libraries, compiler ...) or have a non-RedHat distribution so that my
packages will not work.

Wolfgang.
