Installing LinuxCNC 2.10 And Probe Basic on Linux MX 21

Yeah, probably not inside the correct folder.
From a quick glance of the document, i am sure i noticed some inconsistency with moving in and out of folders, but am to tired to sift through it.
Sorry.
Here is the procedure:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html

Thanks Tommy.

OP: I think you're missing some folder changes.  Need to drop in to dev/linuxcnc/rip/src before the ./configure... command.

EDIT
Some other issues:
$ cd
###$ . ~/linuxcnc-dev/scripts/rip-environment
$ linuxcnc

Has some folder name problems.  I think you need to run through your post start to finish and tidy up folder names and sequencing.

Only if that's where you have put it ....

If you follow the instructions on the web site to get a git clone then you will end up with the Linuxcnc source in ~/linuxcnc-dev/src
Is pretty much all I ever do. Several times an hour some days...

Yes... but I was trying to follow the OP's instructions verbatim to see if there were any hiccups.  And there were.

Thanks for running though this and catching the errors. I ran through it from start to end today and found the same problems. I think I have them fixed and will run through it one more time tomorrow before I post the updated procedure.

I'm not sure what happened. Being an idiot, I documented the process in the word processor that comes with mx 21. I then exported that as a .doc file to upload to the forum. I think that screwed things up. Why I didn't just use the text editor I'll never know.

I updated the installation procedure on 12/26/22.  I hope I caught all the errors.  Again thanks for running thru this.

Instruction Update

Thank you very much! Good work all for this post.

Small issue. Step 2 Item 4 (Fixed see Edit below)

linux-header-6.0.... is not showing and after running updates and upgrades it still dose not show. How do I get that in my system?

Edit: Solved, All repos need to be selected (enabled). In synaptic, click settings, repositories, then check the box to enable all that is there.
