Linux directory path problems

All,

I'm new to linuxCNC having just compiled and installed it a few minutes ago.

I went to the trouble because I am interested in image-to-gcode

I did the pure simulation install on Ubuntu 14

LinuxCNC seems to run ok, but when I try to open a png file
I get the following error box:

Filter failed

The program 'image-to-gcode.py' exited with
code 127. Any error messages it produced are shown below:

sh: 1: image-to-gcode.py: not found

I have no idea where to start.

Thanks in advance for your help.

There are a couple of versions of this around.

One uses other files, another is executable and does not have the .py extension.

You should be able to put the file in whatever location is pointed to when you run
echo $PYTHONPATH

However what I do with any standalone python program I want to use is

Change the top line from
# !/usr/bin/env python
to
# !/usr/bin/python

chmod 755 filename

mv filename.py filename

Then put it in /usr/local/bin and all programs will be able to find it
