comp not

I've installed Ubuntu 10.04/LinuxCNC v2.5 from the latest CD.
It runs fine with the default trivkins option, but I'm using non triv kinematics in Ubuntu 8.04/EMC2 v2.3.
Now, in Terminal,when I type:-

ag@ubuntu:~$ sudo comp --install linuxcnc/configs/mk6/arckins.c

I get:-

sudo: comp: command not found
ag@ubuntu:~$


Do I install 'comp' separately.

Thanks in advance

comp is not installed by default , you will need to install the dev version

sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev

Thanks for that Big John. I did try installing the dev package with

sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev

but don't have the computer connected to the internet.
Is it possible to download and transfer the dev package
from another computer for now.
I'm aware of the advantages of a net connection for
upgrades, etc.

Hi

Assuming the other computer runs 10.04 Linuxcnc also:-

On the other computer use apt-get -d install linuxcnc-dev

This will download but not install the package. If not downloaded to the current directory it will be in /var/cache/apt/archives/

Alternately download direct from www.linuxcnc.org/dists/lucid/linuxcnc2.5...c-dev_2.5.1_i386.deb

Copy to /var/cache/apt/archives/ on your target computer and from that directory run dpkg -i linuxcnc-dev_2.5.1_i386.deb (or whatever its name is)

You will probably need to add sudo to the front of both commands

Apologies for delay in response to everyone's help. I cable connected to the net and downloaded the package containing the comp compiler. All sorted!
Thanks
