Error on config startup : Package Require Linuxcnc (solved) was created by rodw
HI guys, I just pulled a new instance of Linux and compiled 2.8 as RIP. and I get this error when opening any config. I am running Linux mint which was installed before the release of 2.8
Any ideas?
rod@rods-pc:~/linuxcnc-plasmac$ linuxcnc
LINUXCNC - 2.9.0~pre0
Machine configuration directory is '/home/rod/linuxcnc/configs/sim.monokrom/plasma'
Machine configuration file is 'xyz.ini'
can't find package Linuxcnc
while executing
"package require Linuxcnc "
(file "/home/rod/linuxcnc-plasmac/lib/hallib/check_config.tcl" line 160)
check_config validation failed
LinuxCNC terminated with an error. You can find more information in the log:
/home/rod/linuxcnc_debug.txt
and
/home/rod/linuxcnc_print.txt
as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal
Any ideas?

Solved, the path included another RIP instance so it was looking in the wrong folder for linuxcnc.so.
I thought rip-environment should overwite the path.... but it doesn't remove old paths

That was a tricky one. Was that in the context of the same terminal ?
But one would think any variables would be overwritten.

Yeh, I must look at the script. It is actually the path variable which does not have the old reference removed so it had paths to more than one version of the linuxcnc-dev folder... Thinking about it, the path might be hard to modify. The script would need to look at some of the other ENV variables and parse the path to find what needs to be removed...

Yes, yes, yes, I get where you are coming from now. It adds to the path, rather than parses & modifies the path.

A simpler alternative might be to provide more informative error messages. Maybe:
"Unable to locate the Linuxcnc package. Check your configuration and ensure no multiple entries in your path exist. Try rebooting which may resolve the error"

I went from a package installation to a RIP and it worked for a bit then just stopped with the same error you encountered.
What should I delete to start from scratch?

I just rebuilt and ran the rip-environment script and that seemed to work. I deleted the previous files installed by "make install".
