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
Code:
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
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
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...

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"
