Apologies for my reply. I was the stupid human posing the question. When I read you only wanted the simulator, I thought I would ask why not just run in a VM, but, I didn't ask in a text friendly way. On Sat, Sep 19, 2015, 10:38 PM Jeff Epler wrote: > It looks like you're

It looks like you're missing some python-related packages, namely the one that provides pyconfig.h and the one that provides _tkinter.so. On my Debian Jessie system the relevant packages seem to be libpython2.7-dev: /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h python-tk:

My fuzzy crystal ball says eventually we will get small cheap controllers for CNC. Similar to the ones used on 3D printers. We could download with USB or use ethernet to download, even SDcards or usb keyfobs, but the small controllers are used locally to manage the hardware (start/stop/jog,etc)
