unbuntu lucid nativecam install

Looks like nativecam is NOT installed.

try : locate nativecam

If it is not found then open package manager and search for nativecam or ncam. Install from there or use the install procedure.

Thank you. Todd I did what you said thank you. The repository is there. Now I need to update the python, according to nativecam I need 2.7 or higher. So I think I just may move on to Debian. Ordered a new dvd writer from fleabay, so I can install a fresh iso. Thank you you guys for your help. I look forward to using native cam. The other cam software I have been using just has too many steps to get the g-code over to linuxcnc. I like the native solution better.

Well here's an .update.
The last time I tried, it wanted curl to be installed for the script to run. I tried and looked but was unable to find a way to get it installed easily. So I just will give up on this task. I have Debian 9 with linuxcnc installed on another machine now and am in the process of setting up my ini file for my machine. I can now also follow the youtube on the install for debian which is really easy to follow. Once I get it going I will let you know.

Too bad,
I got debian 9 ins talled with the live cd. Went to latency and omg. My machine was at >200000. So I just went to try to configure anyway to see what happened. Well could not get the steppers to run smoothly at all. So I reloaded my Unbuntu install and am configuring it back to the way it was. At least I tried. Now I know, I can install the version of linuxcnc just can't upgrade os with debian on this pc.

You could try Stretch with the RTAI packages:

github.com/andypugh/RTAI/releases

Expand the "assets" tag, download the files then folllow the install sequence.

Thank you all,
I have debian 9 with linuxcnc 2.7.14 installed and sorta working. Need to dial in my machine better. I do appreciate all your help. The old unbuntu machine will retire soon. It just does not like debian for some reason. Andy I may try your suggestion on the old machine once I get the new one up. I have not installed nativecam yet but will once dialed in. I have some parts I want to make for my Shopsmith so I am anxious to get started with nativecam. It will be a challenge but this is what I like. Thank you again for all your help. As far as advising and showing others how to install on lucid I can only say truthfully I failed to get it to go properly. The archived repositories and updates to packages was just to much of a hassle for me and I had to stop. The new machine had a parallel port issue and it turned out that the bios had it set to bi-directional, I changed to EPP and it is woking fine now.
