That, sadly, is for version 2.0, apparently much more capable than the
version in the repo's which is 1.07, and 6 years old.
I tried to install freecad as I have some experience with it on *buntu
10-04 LTS, but that blew up my database and I now have about 70 :amd64
files installed on an i386 system. And neither synaptic nor dpkg will
let me fix it. See my other msg this morning.
I may have to see if I can upodate to jessie yet. In which case I do it
as amd64 as I believe the linuxcnc simulation will run on it. The real
thing will not, the amd64 latency is horrible. But the simulator is
running on an amd64 kernel right now.
root@coyote:/var/cache/apt/archives# uname -a
Linux coyote 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2~bpo70+1
(2016-04-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux
And its happy as a clam.
Thank Lisi.
