The apt-get error message you quoted above shows that you're looking for a component called "2.7-rtpreempt" at "http://linuxcnc.org";. I'm guessing you have a line in your apt source that looks like this: deb http://linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.7-rtpreempt That's not going to work, since there is no component named "2.7-rtpreempt" in the main linuxcnc.org package archive. I now think you want the not-yet-released "2.8-pre" version. This version is not available from www.linuxcnc.org (since it's not released yet) but it is available from the buildbot. You just have to add an apt-source line exactly like it says on the buildbot front page: deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy master-sim It's maybe confusing that this is called "-sim" instead of "-uspace", I tried (probably poorly) to clear up that confusion in the description: > Wheezy (uspace: realtime with RT-Preempt, and simulation) > architectures: amd64, armhf, i386 -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
