I followed www.wiki.eusurplus.com/index.php?title=LinuxCNC_Run_In_Place but runtests script results in errors.can you please help me with installing the master branch step by step?

I am slightly confused because run-in-place and buildbot are two different ways to install LinuxCNC (and, in fact, you can use both, to have several versions of linuxCNC on the same machine)

Buildbot should be easiest and you get updates just like with any other software.

Errors with runtests might just be problems with your system that have no effect on the running of LinuxCNC.

So, let's try Buildbot again. What operating system are you using?

Hi andy. Thanks for paying attention. I use debian wheezy. I follow these steps :
wget gemmei.acc.umu.se/mirror/cdimage/archive....0-i386-standard.iso
Don't set the Root password-I'm not sure about it-while installing the system and use a mirror.
Enter the recovery mode after the installer is finished.
sudo apt-get lightdm
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri x11-xserver-utils gnome-session gnome-shell gnome-themes gnome-terminal gnome-control-center nautilus gnome-icon-theme nautilus mousepad --no-install-recommends

That all seems _very_ complicated.
Are you using any ethernet-controlled motion control hardware?

Your uname suggests that you are not currently running from the realtime kernel. You may have to select it from the Grub menu at boot. I think you hold down the shift key to force that to appear.

The easy way should be:

1) Install LinuxCNC and the realtime kernel and Debian Wheezy from the live-cd:
2) Add the buildbot to the package sources
3) Use Synaptic to get Master / 2.8

No, I don't use ethernet-controlled motion control hardware. Indeed I boot the RTAI kernel image. I'll make a new install as you said. I hope it works. Thanks for giving help, andy.

With a fresh liveCD install, check that LinuxCNC works, then once that is going we can look at updating to 2.8

OK, so, to get 2.8: (I will try to describe the GUI way).
System->Synaptic Package Manager
Settings-Repositories
(TAB)Other Software -> (Button)Add
Put in (as suggested by the buildbot at buildbot.linuxcnc.org)
deb buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy master-rt
Click "Add"
Now, close the dialog and press the "reload" button in Synaptic
There will be a complaint about keys. I think you can actually ignore that for the moment.
Now click the "search" button and look for linuxCNC. You should see a version 1:2.8.0_ja....
Select and install that.
