Then the icons/menus should start your new version.

(I have just tested all the above sequence (which is why the reply took so long). It ought to work for you too.


Andy, is this documented somewhere? Does this need to be in the manual some place?

It is a distillation of the information here:

I've never seen the --prefix=/usr switch for config mentioned anywhere... that was my real question.

./configure --help mentions it.
But, I think you have a point that it needs to be mentioned in the docs now that run-in-place is default. (it wouldn't hurt to mention the --help option too)

Good morning Andy,

Everything went well on re-configuring nd applying the patches. I executed each line and no issues, now do I start linux from the terminal window using "linuxcnc" on the command line? Or does the Icon on my desktop start it up?

At this point they should both start the installed (new) version.

Starting from the terminal will give more debug information.

Hello Andy,

Got the machine fired back up, tried our test threading program, and it would not start. I went into my hal, double checked everything, it looked good. I unlinked the index-enable signals, forced the resolver.index-enable true in the show hal config, rotated the chuck, and now it does not fire at all.

Any thoughts

Did you set the new index parameter that sets the divide ratio? (whatever its called)

Yes,

I set it to "2", then I tried "1", and still no change in the signal when I set it up the way you told me to, to watch that pin. I do notice though that looking at the resolver angle, it is not counting linearly, when the value is 2.

That's strange.
I am going home now, I will get straight on it.
