[Elecraft] [K3] K3-Utility (Linux-version)

[David Fleming]

Mostly likely, cUrl is not installed. Here is an excerpt from a post by Brett Howard back in June '08.

----------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone is having issues with error 127 when trying to check for new
elecraft firmware it may be because you don't have curl installed.  

Enabling "Verbose Logging" under the view menu will tell you this when
you try to check for firmware again you will see the following errors:

00:26:58 bash: curl: command not found
00:26:58 Unable to connect to Elecraft server. Error: 127

This is much more informative than just the second line which is all you
see if you have verbose turned off.  

If you are running any Debian branch (including the Ubuntu folks and all
of its brances) you can solve this problem by opening a terminal and
running:

sudo apt-get install curl

After running that command curl will be downloaded and installed
automatically and everything automagically starts to work.  You can also
search for curl in the synaptic package manager under System >
Administration if you would like to install curl via the gui.
