I bet they aren't being compiled. Halscope and Halmeter need GTK version 2.4.0 or later. If the appropriate GTK development packages aren't installed, any programs that use GTK won't be built. Re-run configure, and examine the output closely... on my system there is a line like this: "checking for GTK 2.4.0 or above... yes - 2.8.20" I bet you have a message that says "checking for GTK 2.4.0 or above... no - some programs will not be built" or something like that. To fix that, install the GTK 2.4 or later development packages on your system and re-run configure. For a Dapper system that probably means "apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev" The reason we don't simply have configure stop and report an error is that halmeter and halscope are considered "optional" programs - they are tools that you use to tweak EMC, not critical parts of EMC itself.
