Error when trying to run LinuxCNC with Axis/Glade VCP was created by cgibbons
Hi there,
I downloaded linuxCNC from the Github repository . I followed the instructions in the install file located at /home/pi/linuxcnc-dev/docs.
From the top level directory, switch to the source directory:
cd src
In the source directory, build LinuxCNC:
./autogen.sh (this builds the configure script)
./configure
make clean
make
sudo make setuid
to run the software go back to the top level directory, and issue:
source scripts/rip-environment
linuxcnc
When I run: linuxcnc, it boots the configuration screen. Here, I select Axis, it begins to boot and then I get this error in my terminal:
I ran linuxCNC yesterday on my Raspberry Pi and it worked fine with Axis, this morning when I ran the "linuxcnc" command to run LinuxCNC it said command not found so I recompiled with "make clean", "make", "sudo make setuid", and then ran ". ./scripts/rip-environment" in /home/pi/linuxcnc-dev/.
Could someone help me fix my error please? as I have not been able to find a solution anywhere else. Thank you.

If you have complied from source then you will need to always run the . ./scripts/rip-environment script in the same shell as you run the "linuxcnc" command from.
(There are ways round this, for example making a launcher linked to the linuxcnc-dev/scripts/linuxcnc script, or creating and installing debs, but for the moment it is probably better to stick to the problem at hand).
One thing that I do see is that you are not running with a realtime kernelSo you probably won't be able to run hardware as things stand.
The error you see is due to a file that seems to be referenced by the config you are running but which isn't in your path. Which config did you choose?
It is a bit of a concern that one of the demo configs appears to not work, but I don't see that file referenced in sim/axis/axis or sim/axis/axis_mm.

Thank you for the reply.

I'm not running a real-time kernel at the moment as I do not need to run hardware, I am just experimenting with changing the GUI.One thing that I do see is that you are not running with a realtime kernel
I choose to run Axis (/linuxcnc-dev/configs/sim/axis)The error you see is due to a file that seems to be referenced by the config you are running but which isn't in your path. Which config did you choose?

An individual machine config is defined by its INI file (You can have several configs sharing the same HAL files, or any subset thereof, and using a shared or separate tool tables etc).
The sim/axis/ folder contains a number of possible configs, and I am curious which one you chose that caused the error.
Though you do say that you are experimenting with GUIs, so perhaps the missing glade file is one of your own?

Oh yes,of course sorry, I should have been more precise; I choose axis.ini
I have not yet created any glade files for use with LinuxCNC as I am having trouble running it on my Raspberry Pi, as you can see.Though you do say that you are experimenting with GUIs, so perhaps the missing glade file is one of your own?

This is rather puzzling, then.
The error report says:
But I don't see such a command in:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...gs/sim/axis/axis.ini
The error report says:
"Embeded tab command "halcmd loadusr -Wn gladevcp gladevcp -c gladevcp -x 35651726 -u handler.py example.glade" exited with error: 1"But I don't see such a command in:

Thank you for your help. Alas, I finally found my error! "GLADEVCP= -u handler.py example.glade" was placed under the "[Display]" container, as the linuxcnc command could not find the example.glade file it was failing to display axis. After removing this line it works perfectly.
Sorry for the hassle, thank you.
