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.

Thanks, i'll use dat from now on !

If you can open them up in Axis or Gedit with File/Open I'd say they are good.

i did have trouble before with opening any sub file. i had stop trying to get it to work.
subs work fine as long as they're in the file. can't call from outside.

when i do slot, it gives the error but loads in the bottom panel.
so i can see what it would do. it has my parameters that
i entered under the tab before finalizing. all the file
paths are correct. attached is the file "slot" tab created.

Your probably missing the helper files used by slot.ngc, look in the ngcgui README file for info on what files are needed by slot.ngc.

i have all the files and helpers in the listed directory. do they need
to be in the default directory listed below? i tried to use
/home/mill/emc2/nc_files/ and had the same result so i just used my
directories.

default dir=
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = /home/username/emc2/nc_files/slot.ngc
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 = ""

The "username" part is just a placeholder you need to use your actual path.

i know, that's not the one i'm using right now.
it's /home/mill/emc2/configs/Axis/ and /home/mill/Gcode(Linux)/.
was just showing defaults that came with the program.
