Ben, Thanks for trying the druid and your suggestions. See my *** comments below.

( http://fenn.dyndns.org/pub/irc/test.dsurf ) *** It is not a bug, but the result of G0speed=1, when G0 speed = 400, the time becomes 5'07". There is now a sensible default G0 Speed. clicking 'down arrow' in spindle rpm goes to 9999999 instead of 0 or negative *** Not a bug. Spindle speed must be > 0, so 'down arrow' brings the highest spindle speed. tool diameters are not saved in stand-alone mode. maybe the numbered tools should be grayed out in stand-alone mode? it shouldn't start on tool 0 at least *** That was intended to ensure that the user is aware that the tool diameter is inconsistent. I have added a warning instead. libnml.so isn't getting linked in for some reason. ldd dsurf: libnml.so => not found libnml.so does indeed exist: -rwxr-xr-x 1 fenn fenn 962635 2007-09-27 21:06 /pub/emc/emc2.1/lib/libnml.so this is what 'make' does: g++ -o dsurf dsurf.o dsurf1.o dsurf2.o dsurf3.o f_dsurf1.o tabwdesc.o dsurf1_png.o dsurf_html.o dr_help_view.o dremc.o ../tinyxml/tinyxml.o .../tinyxml/tinyxmlerror.o ../tinyxml/tinyxmlparser.o ../tinyxml/tinystr.o .../utils/drutils.o ../utils/mg_png_image.o /usr/local/lib/libfltk.a /usr/local/lib/libfltk_images.a /usr/local/lib/libfltk_jpeg.a /usr/local/lib/libfltk_png.a /usr/local/lib/libfltk_z.a /pub/emc/emc2.1/lib/libemc.a /pub/emc/emc2.1/lib/libnml.so -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm -lX11 ideas anyone? *** Try "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/pub/emc/emc2.1/lib:$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)" before starting dsurf. This puts EMC in the list of directories searched by the loader. ______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
