HALCOMPILE missing was created by Tady
Hello!

So I have a problem with my LinuxCNC installation. I was following this post

forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...-or-deb?limitstart=0

When i followed Post 1 (RIP install) the system worked but i have problems with glade-3 when I start Glade and try to open a project i get the following error... The following required catalogs are unavailable: gladevcp..
But if I open a terminal and execute...
. /home/tady/linuxcnc-dev/scripts/rip-environment
and then
glade-3
it works...

I'm a total noob when it comes to Linux but I trying to learn

Anyway I tried to install my system following Post2 everything is ok until I try to compile a custom driver.
halcompile is missing.
I searched on google and I don't know how to correct the problem. In one place i read that I shoul run sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev but that does not work...
how do I install halcompile on a deb installed linuxcnc

Thank you very much

halcompile used to be called "comp"

If you have somehow managed to end up with a very old version of LinuxCNC then perhaps it is still called that.

nope comp doesn't work.
How could I have pulled an old kernel?

I installed Mint 18.1 and 4.9.4 kernel and patch... and I gip pulled the master branch..

The LinuxCNC version is independent of the kernel version.

If you built from source then did you omit the "sudo make setuid" as the last step?

Yes i did. As it is said in the tutorial.
Wah are the cons of running a system RIP? I don't mind if it is RIP as long as if I can get the glade problem fixed

The only problem with running a RIP is that you have to do the . ../scripts/rip-environment every time you want to run the software.
(you also need to do this to find halcompile, incidentally)

Have you considered the pre-compiled binaries from buildbot.linuxcnc.org ?
