New LinuxCNC Installation (Master Branch) "CANNOT FIND plasmac.hal"

Hello, I'm trying to setup a Plasma Table using LinuxCNC with plasmac.
When selecting the configuration I got the error "CANNOT FIND FILE FOR plasmac.hal"
The file is there is just emplty. It seems the file in github (master branch) is also empty.
Did I miss something? I'm following the plasmac user guide. Should I look somewhere else?
I did intall the dependencies in forum.linuxcnc.org/plasma-laser/36410-co...fig-for-any-hardware
P.S. Also I will use chinese thc "HEAVTH PTHC-2" it measures the voltage and the height on itself but preferably I still want the pc to wait for the arc-ok signal and process the "corner setup" it has plasmac. Does PlasmaC is a good starting point?

Is this a new installation or did you upgrade recently?
V0.087 removed plasmac.hal and replaced it with plasmac.tcl this version requires you to run configurator in upgrade mode.
You may need to run the configurator or else do another LinuxCNC update which will get you v0.090 and it will run the configurator automatically when you start LinuxCNC.

I've just run into this on a clean install as well. It's the example configs have the broken link to the plasmac.hal. Section 4.4 of the plasmac user guide instructs to run an example plasmac config.
Is there still a way to play with plasmac in a sim mode?

Sorry guys, my bad...
Three options:
Three options:
- I pushed a fix so you could update again (for Buildbot installs you will need to wait while the Buildbot does its thing)
- For a Run In Place build, edit the .ini file:and change plasmac.hal to plasmac.tcl
~/linuxcnc-dev/configs/by_machine/plasmac/<gui_flavor>/<metric_or_imperial>_plasmac.ini
Then create a link to plasmac.tcl:$ cd ~/linuxcnc-dev/configs/by_machine/plasmac/<gui_flavor> $ ln -s ../plasmac.tcl
- For a Buildbot build, edit the .ini file:and change plasmac.hal to plasmac.tcl
~/configs/by_machine.plasmac.<gui_flavor>/<metric_or_imperial>_plasmac.ini
Then create a link to plasmac.tcl:$ cd ~/linuxcnc-dev/configs/by_machine.plasmac.<gui_flavor> $ ln -s /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/by_machine/plasmac/plasmac.tcl

Hi Phill
I think I have done the same thing. I have just got my machine setup fine and working good.
I made the mistake of doing an upgrade via a terminal with apt-get upgrade etc. Now Plasmac will not load the error is cannot find file for plasmac.hal.
This is a buildbot install. What is the best way for me to sort it. Thanks.
Edit: I will be away till Monday would help to run the update again from the terminal so that the bot can catch up.

It looks like the Buildbot is having a doze buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/
The quick way is like above , otherwise try another update.
I will report the Buildbot sleep to the devs list.
Edit: It is up to date, I messed up my timezone calculations.
