Can you please elaborate Have you installed packages, if so which ones?
Rather sounds as if you have built machinekit from sources, if you have somewhere to try running 'sudo make setuid' ? In which case you presumably have not completed the building properly. The whole latency-test issue rather suggests you are operating under the misapprehension that you can do software stepping on an x86 with rt-preempt kernel. You can't. The reason there is no base thread reading by default in latency-test, is that the various hardware step generation methods used ( BBB PRU, DE0-NANO-Soc, Mesa boards) do not require a base thread. The rtai kernel based Linuxcnc distro you were pointed to earlier is where you need to go if you want to run a machine off the parport with software stepgen.
