HALCOMPILE missing

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...and thenit 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

what error does

sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev

report?

E: Unable to locate package linuxcnc-dev

it seems I'm missing a url link

Can someone exlain to me what are the differences between RIP and deb install.. what are pros and cons

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..

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

ok i will try tor re install as deb packages (i have an extra disk to play with).
Thank you!
