switchkins - using own kinematics module as kinstype=2

Only explanation I can come up with is that you are not setting the environment to the correct installation folder you used to build linuxcnc to.

The other way would be to use the above mentioned "userkins.comp" template as that doesn't require a rebuild but can be installed using "halcompile".

I presume you have installed linuxcnc something like this, ie a rip-install into a folder called "linuxcnc-dev" or using another folder name:

> git clone git://github.com/linuxcnc/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev
> cd linuxcnc-dev/src
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --with-realtime=uspace
> sudo make setuid

Then after that you need to set the environment like this:
> source ../scripts/rip-environment

Then you can start linuxcnc from the rip-installation
