Fern, first of all, many, many thanks for your great effort. Hope not to bother you with noob questions but:
Being fairly ignorant in Linux, for some years i am using LinuxCNC with good results. yesterday I downloaded and installed version 2.7.14, and, for the first time, tried to install NativeCAM, following the procedures on the first page of this thread. all I get is:
'
Detected operating system as debian/wheezy.
Checking for curl...
Installing curl...
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Package curl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'curl' has no installation candidate
Running apt-get update... done.
Installing debian-archive-keyring which is needed for installing
apt-transport-https on many Debian systems.
Installing apt-transport-https... done.
Installing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/FernV_NativeCAM.list...ncam_debsetup.txt: line 115: curl: command not found
Unable to run:
curl
packagecloud.io/install/repositories/Fer...wheezy&source=script
Double check your curl installation and try again.
I am lost. Synaptic ignore any reference to curl itself, only shows libcurl. i downloaded the curl package, but can't manage to synaptic use it. What I am missing here?
I really appreciate some guidance.
