I need to correct myself - glade should run just fine with RIP (checked on 
current v2.5_branch).

 
 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?

the terminal seems to be the linuxcnc config selection box, not a shell window

to see more detail:

- open a terminal window
- if RIP, '. scripts/rip-environment'
- cd to, say, configs/gladevcp
- run 'linuxcnc gladevcp_tab.ini'

if linuxcnc cops out, it will give an obituary in the shell window

 - Michael

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.

it looks like you have an existing emc installation and the python code picks 
up emc.so from that installation

if it is run-in-place, it shouldnt import emc.so from

maybe it is early, but could it be already cnc.so or something, in place
of emc.so?

snip

 picks up emc.so from that installation

 if it is run-in-place, it shouldnt import emc.so from 
 /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/

 - Michael

Michael - thanks for the reply.

I think the environment setting script is emc2-dev/scripts/rip-environment 
now and I had run that just before the quoted stuff from the terminal.

Here is the contents of my emc2-dev/scripts/rip-environment

www.castlewoodconsultants.com/Misc/rip-environment

The modules seem to be being loaded from the right place until emc.so

I will have to re-read the search path rules in Python as it is a bit of a 
black art to me.

Another oddity is that Glade will not open glade-manual.ui as it says it 
cannot find the gladevcp catalog..

Do you think a clean Ubuntu install and pull then compile of 2.5_branch 
would be the best course?
