Oh dear - I am just discovering how little I understand. Working on Lucid 10.4.3 I removed the installed EMC2 (2.4.6) with the package manager and rebooted for safety. Pulled from 2.5_branch - lots of changes as everyone has been very busy with the new name! Did a "make clean" Then, following the wiki page, did cd src ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install-menus sudo make setuid I realise that I do not understand the following from the wiki page: "2.5. Building emc2 (realtime) If you have already installed EMC from the Live CD do not use --prefix/make install. Use the 'run in place' method (the default) instead." On Michael's advice I don't want RIP but as it is default how do you avoid getting it? Wiki suggests you need "--prefix/make install" but where should this be put? I can run the compiled version by using . scripts/linuxcnc but when I quit LinuxCNC the terminal closes instantly. dmesg does not seem to have anything about this. What mght be happening here? I will now try gladevcp - the whole point of this exercise - but feel very in the dark about the compilation so any explanations very welcome.
