Thanks very much for the reply, made a tiny bit of progress and managed to clear one of the path errors by creating a macros folder in the config for the test_lathe.
Still not getting anywhere and im suspecting it could be an issue with glade? i have 3.38 ive found 3.40.0 but cant figure out how to install it as its a .tar.xz that i think is just an archive? i followed the readme install examples "apt get install" just gets 3.38 again and the manual option fails due to
Code:
Checking for function [code] "_gtk_widget_class_template_unset_only_for_glade" with dependency gtk+-3.0: NO
Couple of things i notice in the terminal dump, but dont really know what they mean.
