It looks like JTs configuration tool is installed in your home directory
rather than in a system directory. Your shell needs to know the path
to the configuration tool, since its not in the normal search path for
executables.

Thanks for the help, but I don't even understand what you just said.

When you type a command, the OS (Linux in this case) searches
for the file to execute by looking through a list of places (a path)

The configuration utility is installed in your home directory and the search path
needs to have this location added so you can type the command and launch
the configuration utility

Again I thank you for the help. I guess I need a ton of teaching on linux. I still don't understand what you're talking about.

I already have a old 2005 windows computer with linuxcnc 2.7.15 and it is working great since the day I installed it. Also I had it up and running in 20 minutes or less.

This build I've been working on since Saturday morning was just meant to be a back-up system and switch over ( HUGE HEADACHE). I am obliviously not getting it and need a major lesson on linux. I have ordered a raspberry Pi and hope I can get that up and running with my mesa 7i92 card. I think it's the computer I need to give up on.

Thanks for the help

Honestly, a 15 year old computer is likely going to problematic running a newer version of
LinuxCNC and an Ethernet card, though should be workable. If the configuration utility is
a problem you might try the other Mesa card configuration utility: pncconf
