No, but there is work being done to sort out the differing python3 versions.

Thanks. I think it was a misunderstanding on my part. I just assumed that a self compiled deb install and a RIP install could coexist.
For the most part I was going to just run with the standard installation but now I want to see if I can come up with a rapid probing method.

I am sure I have just such a setup on one of my VM's.
Did you try removing the existing deb install with Synaptic before rebuilding.
 

If it only QtPlasmaC that you are having path issues with then you can easily change the type in installation:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/plasma/qtpl...inuxcnc_installation

Yeh I did that but the path remained pointing to the deb environment.

Perfect. I'll give it a try. There isn't much you have not thought of. I still gotta try framing.

So if I update the debs, do I uninstall them or do I just reinstall. I seem to remember there was a way that you could add files somehow that are included in the apt-get search path. Is it worth doing that?

I just tried it on my VM.

I git pulled then built the package.
In file manager I right clicked the package and told it to open with GDebi.
It reported it was the same version so I chose Reinstall.
After installation I ran it and it was updated. 
 

Hmm git pulled the source and ran make right now,  The build terminated with Missing  Image docs/src/plasma/images/plasmac-conv-rotate.png.
This file does not exist in git hub

Nor should it, it was removed a week or so ago.

You may need to make clean and/or run configure again.

Thanks I hit make clean afterwards. Will see how it goes when I get a chance. Doing about 7 things at once today.

But one achievement is that my resurrected cold saw has a plasma cut guard and is finally making itself a stand.
