If you are using Debian Wheezy then you need to set the repository acccording to the last table here using the rt-preempt version
buildbot.linuxcnc.org

You should then be able to select JA14 from the package manager.
The instructions on that page describe editing a sources file, but you can also add the lines to the package manager via the synaptic GUI.

Andy, where is the documentation on how to configure the JA14 branch?

What am I doing wrong here? I added the rt preempt source but I cannot find a linuxcnc joint axes version, see blow:

root@cnc-router:/home/mjohnson# more /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxcnc.list
deb buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy scratch-rtpreempt
deb-src buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy scratch-rtpreempt

root@cnc-router:/home/mjohnson# apt-get update

root@cnc-router:/home/mjohnson# apt-cache search linuxcnc
linuxcnc-uspace - PC based motion controller for real-time Linux
linuxcnc-doc-en - PC based motion controller for real-time Linux
linuxcnc-uspace-dev - PC based motion controller for real-time Linux
linuxcnc-doc-fr - PC based motion controller for real-time Linux
linuxcnc-doc-es - PC based motion controller for real-time Linux
truetype-tracer - TTT, the True Type Tracer, an outline-generator.

Please advise on how to get the package, and then where I can read docs on how to configure it (or do I just run pncconf?)

I don't use Debian I use LinuxMint but here are my notes on JA.

Docs for buildbot branches:

I think that's the one. If you look at the extended details in Synaptic:

Okay, I got JA14 installed. When I launched it the attached error occurred trying to convert my config files.

I then ran pncconf to create a new config from scratch instead, but when I try to click forward button it gives a prompt saying that if I selected tandem axes I must specify a master stepper, however, I do not see where I can do that so I am stuck.

What do I do?
