Serious dependency trouble while installing linuxcnc

Hello everyone, I’ve been trying to install master Linuxcnc, with mx 19.4 or mx23

Although in the past, I’ve done it seamlessly, currently I’m having huge trouble with dependencies because no matter if I activate the system or not upon installation, I always have problems with libudev or libgtksourceview.

if I try to remove the current versions, which are not compatible with Linuxcnc, i’ll end up removing other programs and creating even more dependency problems. Although I can install the version that linuxcnc-uspace wants for libudev, if I do it , it will remove other required software. Same for the other dependencies…

i’ve followed the guides, but I always get stuck with this problem. Does anyone have a different approach to resolve this?

thanks in advance

What is the last MX version? did you try that version?
The latest version should work with just\
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace
But that would be 2.9.4 , not Master, so a manual upgrade would need doing
All this is based on it being a Debian derivative, so it might not work.
Just in case you are still trying to use the old how to for the 19.4 version, don't, it will not work on latest versions, as far as i know.

It is advisable to use Debian 12 or 13, or even Linux Mint Debian Edition 6, as all that is required to install LinuxCNC on them is the single command mentioned above.

It says MX 23.5 uses Debian Stable (eg Bookworm)
So the approach in the docs should work
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/getting-st...th_preempt_rt_kernel

1. Install MX
2. follow the instructions I linked to above
