I just updated to 64 bit antergos linux on an i7 processor with a new
SSD. WOW... life on the bleeding edge is great so far.
Antergos is an arch linux derivative that does not have releases... it
is a continuously rolling update, so all the tools are on the bleeding
edge. This was a bit of a change for me jumping from gcc 4.7 to 7.1.
Linuxcnc built nicely with only a few dependencies needing to be
installed and an edit on one source file that does not seem to use the
python configuration spec. Default python is 3.x and linuxcnc uses 2.x
which now runs as python2.
Linuxcnc install from git:
install tkimg, bwidget, git using gui software installer under
menu/administration/Add/Remove software
mkdir ~/git
cd ~/git
git clone git://github.com/linuxcnc/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc
cd linuxcnc/src
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-realtime=uspace --enable-non-distributable=yes
--with-python=/usr/bin/python2
make -j4
fixpaths.py will error... just change
#!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python2
I run it using this line (added as an onscreen launcher)
/home/lg/git/linuxcnc/scripts/linuxcnc
/home/lg/git/linuxcnc/configs/sim/axis/axis.ini
I just use the sim configs on my desktop for testing gcode for both
lathe and mill setups. For my running machine I am still back in the
dark ages with ubuntu 10.04, an 800MHz PIII and linuxcnc 2.5.
watch out for above email line wraps if using cut and paste
cheers

I'm not sure what you mean by "sim" but all the axis simulation configs work
for me on 64-bit LinuxCNC installs. To my knowledge, there are no 64-bit LinuxCNC and
RTAI .deb packages however.
