Another option is to use the latest pre-built 2.4 package from the buildbot, which includes all the bugfixes since 2.4.2.

To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <[email protected]> Unfortunately, a bug was introduced in the calibration program in emc 2.4.2. Until the next bugfix release of emc2 is made, you have a few options: * if none of the other issues fixed in 2.4.2 is as important to you as a working calibration program, downgrade to emc 2.4.1 using the synaptic package manager or in the terminal with the command sudo apt-get install emc2-sim=1:2.4.1 * if you have the expertise to build emc2 from source, build the v2.4_branch which already contains the bugfix. * if you're comfortable running shell commands, you can download the fixed version of the file onto your system. Download http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=blob_plain;f=tcl/bin/emccalib.tcl;hb=refs/heads/v2.4_branch as emccalib.tcl. Open a terminal, 'cd' to the directory where you saved emccalib.tcl, then run sudo mv emccalib.tcl /usr/share/emc/tcl/bin/emccalib.tcl sudo chmod +x /usr/share/emc/tcl/bin/emccalib.tcl Because this modifies a system file, you will be prompted for your password. The next time the emc2 package is updated, it will overwrite the modified file, but that will be OK since the next version will also contain the fix.
