I tried upgrading from 2.7.4 to 2.7.7 (debian wheezy, apt-get) but when
I fire linuxcnc up I get a popup error message:

>G-Code error in axis.ngc
>
>Near line 12 of /usr/share/axis/images/axis.ngc:
>Bad character 'z' used

If I click 'OK' linuxcnc loads but the initial X & Y show as 4.23e+289
and 2.95e+240 and axis.ngc is not showing in the display.

I then tried 2.7.5 and get the same thing.  Downgrade to 2.7.4 and
everything's back to normal.

axis.ngc sums as 16239 (same as my backups) so I don't think it's that.

A possible contributor to the problem is that I tried installing
NativeCAM but ran into problems as I already use gladevcp for a probe
screen (I'll go back to that once 2.7.7 is working).  I ran "setup.py c"
clear NativeCAM for now.

Any ideas?



(my .ini is here http://ruffle.me.uk/Mesa_Mill.ini.expanded)

linuxcnc prints....

then pops the G-Code error box, click OK and it continues....

Not sure about those Gtk warnings... they might have been around forever
as I normally fire up LinuxCNC from an icon.
