Dear All,

Does anyone have information that the KINCO FD425-EF-000 drive works with linuxcnc? On Ethercat?
Is there an xml file provided by the manufacturer, can I use that?
I haven't connected an Ethercat device to the machine under Linuxcnc yet.

Regards

Hi,
I tried to install the linux-ethercat package
but I get the error that they are dependent on other packages: libtool, autoconf, autoconf-archive and automake. which can not be installed.
I do have a freshly installed linuxcnc 2.9.4 preempt-rt installed from the iso image.

after
Code:
sudo apt install build-essential
unfortunatly I receive the same error mesage:
Code:
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten: ethercat-dkms : Hängt ab von: libtool ist aber nicht installierbar Hängt ab von: autoconf ist aber nicht installierbar Hängt ab von: autoconf-archive ist aber nicht installierbar Hängt ab von: automake ist aber nicht installierbar E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.
unfortunatly in german but basically libtool autoconf, ... can not be installed
I tried to install libtool individually: and I get the error message:
Code:
For the paket libtool there is no install candidate.
(my translation)

Is there any more information I can provide to narrow down the problem?

Strange. all packages are available in the Debian repositories (libtool,autoconf,autoconf-archive,automake)  packages.debian.org/search?suite=default...mes&keywords=libtool
Even stranger because iGh the ethercat master developer is a German company.. I wonder if its a language/locale issue? I can't help
