RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Help Linux Woes Help!!!

Jumped the gun,

You also need the Make package installed.
Located under Development Building.

If you can't find the patch package I think it is in System Text.

It is looking like you may be missing a number of packages If you have the
space load all of the development library and languages and the X11 library
also just to be safe.
