Hi Eric,
I replied before but it didn't seem to get through. I think I have found
a problem with the sheetcamlibs package. Try
downloading and installing the sheetcamlibs package again.
If you still get the error, open a terminal and enter the following:
sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq
That is good news. If you do break anything, please let me know. I'll
sort out the extension problem in the next release.
Thanks,
Les

John,
It is my development system which is used for more things than just EMC. In
fact I don't run EMC from this machine other than testing, it is only used
to compile from source.

Sorry to report, but loading sheetcam seems to have severely affected
packaging functions (apt-get, synaptic, etc). Both the packages sheetcamlibs
and sheetcam installed with errors, but sheetcam itself seems to be working.
The problem is, synaptic, apt-get, etc. now do not.

That is what I do for the original SheetCam. I can't do it for TNG
because the plugins need to access the libraries at the same time. The
wxWidgets docs specifically state that statically linking in this case
won't work.
I think I have found a way round the issue by having a

Sorry about that. You caught me in the procsess of testing some changes.
I have changed over to using a private set of libraries. Uninstall the
existing sheetcamlibs then re-download and install both the libs and
