Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

For first thanks for your work ...

I do not always follow the forum or mailing list so I completely lost my progress on ubuntu / mint 64bit and RTAI. .... The 4.x kernel version that you say about Kuminzky corresponds to the RTAI 5.1 version + adaptations made by kuminzky for LCNC? In any case, despite being a version dev. does he work on a real robot (scara / puma / delta) or is it just sim?

I wrote here because my question on mailing list is missing.

Anyone run into this as well? Any ideas? XmuLookupStandardColormap error

K-1,

I don't know if he is running a robot or not. Sorry maybe someone else can chime in and tell us.

cromagilous,

Did you have any missing dependencies?

Is this the latest master version? Looks like you are running a sim Hal. But you are in realtime so at lest the kernel is good.

Have you tried looking at the last import .hal before the error?

My entering of the long code at post 4 rendered being unable to locate Tcl18.6-dev, tk8.6-dev. First line of the Kernel install wget resulted in unable to resolve host address. Didn't try the patch following given that not working. Couldn't continue from there, assuming it all stacked on itself. Any ideas?

If you are having trouble in ubuntu 16.04 finding packages it is best to use aptitude and do a search

tcl8.6-dev & tk8.6-dev are listed & current for ubuntu 16.04

You can use this page to search for packages

ftp://ftp.kernel.org has changed to www.kernel.org

The linux kernel sources have been moved from ftp servers to http servers. It happened a few months ago and probably slipped the notice of many useres.
