I'd say you have your path wrong... I'm guessing that it is /home/mill/emc2/nc_files/slot.ngc

i set it to that folder(i changed it before) and still the same error.
could the files be corrupt ?
The search function on this forum sucks and I never use it anymore. I use instead Google site search like this
Open up google and use this in the search bar.
stuff I'm searching for site:http://www.linuxcnc.org
This has the advantage of also searching the wiki site and other EMC resources.
John
Thanks, i'll use dat from now on !

* helix_rtheta.ngc Invoke helix.ngc with center specified as r,theta
* hole_circle.ngc Invoke helix.ngc for holes milled on a circular pattern
*+ slot.ngc Slot (inside, ccw) (adapted from useful-subroutines.ngc)

cat <<eof >|hw.ngc
o<hw> sub
#<zsafe> = #1
#<zcut> = #2
#<scale> = #3 (=0.0003)
#<feed> = #4
eof
truetype-tracer HelloWorld | grep -Eiv =\|m2\|m02 >>hw.ngc
echo "o<hw> endsub" >>hw.ngc
xyz.ngc Axis exerciser-- test program for running x,y,z axes
in simple patterns useful for servo tuning etc.
backlash.ngc Use for backlash measurements with indicator on x,y,or z axis
Postamble Files:
bye.ngc Simple example postamble with user message
Helper files (these contain utility routines used by the Subfiles above):
gosper_sub.ngc Recursive function used with gosper.ngc
dir.ngc Determine direction for polygon traversal
entry.ngc Compute a quarter-arc preentry and radius vector
cross.ngc Cross product for two vectors
dot.ngc Dot product and cosine for two vectors
line.ngc Compute length, angle, cos, and sin for a line
move.ngc Compute coordinants for rotation, scale, and offset
ostop.ngc Insert optional stop with continue message

NGCGUI_SUBFILE = /home/username/emc2/nc_files/simp.ngc
my directories =
USER_COMMAND_FILE = /home/mill/emc2/configs/Axis/tkapp.py
NGCGUI = /home/mill/emc2/configs/Axis/ngcgui.tcl
TKAPP = /home/mill/emc2/configs/Axis/ngcgui_app.tcl
TKAPP = /home/mill/emc2/configs/Axis/ngcgui_ttt.tcl
NGCGUI_FONT = Courier -10 normal
NGCGUI_PREAMBLE = /home/mill/Gcode(Linux)/in_std.ngc
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = /home/mill/Gcode(Linux)/slot.ngc
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = /home/mill/Gcode(Linux)/simp.ngc
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = /home/mill/Gcode(Linux)/iquad.ngc
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = ""
