Yes I thougt that, but when I type sudo apt-get build-dep emc2-axis in the terminal, I get the following message:
E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/www.linuxcnc.org_emc2_dists_dapper_emc2_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory) (anyone knows why??) And I've got the same message when I've typed sudo apt-get build-dep emc2 as indicated in the wiki. Everything after that went well, ./configure was successful and so the make command. So I tought that the two commands before was not necessary. But probably I was wrong.
