error installing opencamlib from PPA

Post by markd »

I am new to freecad and very interested in any cam workbench. I sudo apt-get install opencamlib but get the error

Reading state information... Done
Package libboost-python is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libboost-python' has no installation candidate

can anyone help or is there another starting point for CAM with freecad?

Is it this one you try to install? https://code.launchpad.net/~neomilium/+ ... mlib-daily

To me this error message looks like you are trying to install a version built for a different Ubuntu version.

Using the ppa from the last post I was able to build the ppa without any errors.

Thank You
