Michael, Sorry, I was responding from memory and gave you the wrong path. It is relative to the nc_files folder ($HOME/emc2/nc_files by default). At any rate do the following:
In your hal file add the line: loadusr emcrsh IOW, with no parameters. To get it going we will use all of the defaults. For testing purposes you can use the sim tkemc configuration. Just add the above to core_sim.hal in the configs/sim folder. Then telnet in and issue the following commands: hello EMC client 1.0 set echo off set verbose on set enable EMCTOO set task_plan_init set mode auto set open examples/3D_Chips.ngc This should load the 3D_Chips.ngc example program. I turned verbose on so that you get more informative error messages. The remainder is the sequence I use when loading a new program. Regards, Eric Eric, Thanks for the response but I still can't convince the "set open test.ngc" command to work. I've moved the nc_files directory all over the machine to no avail. The relative directory error message, of course, is less than helpful. I think the trick will be to get the -ini method working. If I could explicitly specify the path then debugging would be easier. Has anyone gotten the "set open" method working on Ubuntu? If so, please shed some light. Rafael, I think your points are valid but they don't simply apply to linux novices. Relative paths without a well documented root are difficult to work with and confusing even to folks like me with 30 years of software experience! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
