It sounds like you're trying to build linuxcnc from source, and using the "debian/configure; dpkg-checkbuilddeps" technique to identify packages to install, and getting stuck because libgnomeprint2.2 is not longer available. Is Mint 17 based on Ubuntu Trusty or Debian Jessie? Those distros removed libgnomeprint2.2, which (as you noted) we build-depend on. There's a workaround that may work for you: You can ignore it when dpkg-checkbuilddeps tells you to install that package and go on to the "src/configure" step, and configure will note that libgnomeprintui is missing and automatically turn off the parts of linuxcnc that use it. The only part that's affected is the print dialog box in Classic Ladder, so if you can live without that you can still build and run linuxcnc on newer distros. You can even build debian packages locally. I'm cooking up a patch set to implement this workaround in our official package building, but it's not ready yet... If you do try this out, please let us know how it goes and if you run into any issues. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
