Hello,

I've tried to upgrade my LinuxCNC 2.5 on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) to LinuxCNC 2.7 but I always get the following error from the package management:

"linuxcnc:
Dependend: tclx but it is not installable"

I've searched all possible wikis but I can't get any information about the missing tclx.

Any help is highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Hancock

A suggestion from IRC. If you are on 10.04 it is possible that the repos have moved now that it us no longer supported and that that apt / Synaptic can no longer find _anything_.

What happens if you try to install something that really should exist?

Andy is right, the repos are changed from "archive" to "old-releases", so a quick change in the sources list ( or synaptics>software sources), and you can update and install like usual. Did that some 4 months ago, it worked. I still use 10.04 on some production machines at clients sites, i just liked it (still do, had it on all my laptops till 7 or 8 months ago).

The package may be named 'tclx8.4'
$ dpkg -l '*tclx*'
ii  tclx8.4    8.4.1-1  amd64  Extended Tcl (TclX) - shared library
you could try:
sudo apt-get install  tclx8.4
