Good Morning All,
This weekend I upgraded my software from EMC 2.4.6 to Linuxcnc 2.5.0 . Once the upgrade was finished, I put my config files into their directory, and edited for txt changes (EMC-> Linuxcnc).
When I ran my setup, everything would pop up on the screen, then immediately close, and show the error report screen. If I comment out all the NGCGUI info, my setup runs. I have pasted error, and INI file below...Any help would be appreciated. I tried changing the NGCGUI to be the same as in the examples in the sim directory , as the format in the INI was different then it was in the EMC2.4.6...but that made no difference...
The error is as follows:
ngcgui_app_init: Supstituting ngcgui.tcl for /usr/lib/tcltk/linuxcnc/ngcgui.tcl Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/axis", line 3217, in <module>
root_window.tk.call ("package", "require", *pkg)
_tkinter.TclError: expected integer but got "normal"
My INI file is:
# Generated by stepconf at Sun May 29 08:18:16 2011
# If you make changes to this file, they will be
# overwritten when you run stepconf again
