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.

BR

I've had similar. Go ahead and install libcurl, ISTR it works somehow

Cheers, Gene Heskett

Well, sinaptic informs me that I have libcurl3-gnutls installed, version 7.26.0-1+wheezy25+deb7u1 which is the latest version.

what now? My ignorance in Linux is troubling me. Do I have to somehow force a new install, using apt-get?

You can point me to some docs, do not want to be a lazy guy!

thanks again, and regards.

Maybe some else, even Fern can help. wget does essentially the same thing but probably needs different cli options. So the scripts that use curl might be editable to use wget.

I think I read someplace quite a while back that curl was using an out of date security library, Its dirt I haven't kicked around much, and the oldtimers memory fades too fast, it will be 85 years old next month. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Thank you, Gene!

I am searching around, and, if I find a solution, i will post it here.

My mom is 84, and still work as a translator and consultant for language and literature works. She has a PhD in that area.

You are perfectly fine, believe me. Still go a long stretch!

Best regards

That curl error was exactly what was happening to me with unbutu lucid. I finally gave up and got the latest debian 9 live dvd and was able to load up NativeCam. I really love NativeCam and will continue to us it as my new go to for CAM.

okiejim, you installed debian 9 and native cam, but not linux cnc?

BigDo, I tryed apt-get today and go the same. No curl librarie to install.

It is only me, or there are other people with this problem?
