New Project with Mesa 7I96 and THCAD-05

It does not seem you have sorted out the buildbot commands discussed with Phill earlier in this thread. Linux does not know where to look for linuxcnc files.

Are you getting the latest version now when you run LinuxCNC?

Open Synaptic Package Manager, click Search at the top tight and enter linuxcnc as the search term. It should show all available linuxcnc packages.

ok i had the rest of the packages unchecked and only did the 2 files that i edited. I was abe now to run that command here is what i got now:
carr@carr-pc:~$ sudo halcompile --install ohmic3.comp
[sudo] password for carr:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/halcompile", line 1512, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/halcompile", line 1482, in main
process(f, mode, outfile)
File "/usr/bin/halcompile", line 1336, in process
a, b = parse(filename)
File "/usr/bin/halcompile", line 429, in parse
f = open(filename).read()
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ohmic3.comp'

does this mean that it installed?

It looks like it couldn't find ohmic.com You probably need to be in the same directory as ohmic3.comp when you run halcompile or maybe enter the full path to ohmic3.comp

Nope didn’t work tried putting the whole path and gave me a error. Is there a more easier way to install this? Got my z motor and did a cut and the thc still didn’t work. I checked all the setting ls and they all look correct my wiring to the cards are good. Going to put this Mesa setup aside and just buy a plug and play system. This stuff just takes up too much time trying to set it up. Will hook this up to my working machine later but for now I want the new table to be working will be buying a plug and play system. Thanks to the guys that replied to my issues and helped solve most of them I know the system works good and I thought it would work out for me but it’s just tough trying to learn all the Linux stuff and editing configs
