Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

Hello, I have problem.

Hi,

I think you forgot to " sudo make setuid " at the end of the install of linuxcnc after the " make " command.

You can do it at any moment in src directory. Type : sudo make setuid

output is :

chown root ../bin/rtapi_app
chmod 4750 ../bin/rtapi_app
chown root ../bin/linuxcnc_module_helper
chmod 4750 ../bin/linuxcnc_module_helper

If this is not solving the problem for you, then the problem is one step back in installation process, at the kernel config chooser.

Good luck !

At the second screen in stepconf untick the "use simulated somethingoranother".

I have
chown root ../bin/rtapi_app
chmod 4750 ../bin/rtapi_app

Look at the error.

Yes, I think that is probably the problem.

"Create simulated hardware configuration." - I did not enable this option, I did all the settings as in the original emc.

On some versions the "create simulated config" was selected by default.

Hello, I am a very beginner in Linuxcnc. I was trying to follow the instruction of installing the rtai linuxcnc on my Mint 18.1 32 bit with cinnamon desktop. When I get to the step of installing the linux-headers-3.4.9-rtai-686-pae, it is said that it need gcc 4.6 but it is not installable.

after this, I tried to follow the instruction for the rtai 4.1.0.1 version. With this version, when I got to the ./configure -r , it is said that there is no available rtai kernel for my Linux kernel which is 4.4.0-53-generic.

Can anyone help me please?

The problem is Precise is not the Ubuntu base for Mint 18, the Ubuntu base is Xenial, Xenial uses gcc 5 series.
