I tried out the August binary release of EMC on the 2.0.36 linux platform
and found that it worked very well with my stepper setup. The
emcbin file
is precompiled so all you have to do is download it from:
- ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/EMC/
or
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/EMC
and:
- tar xzvf emcbin*
in the directory in which you want to use it. It's ready to run
in about
30 seconds.
I found one file missing emc/plat/linux_2_0_36/bin/emctesting.
This trips
up tkemc. The best fix is to just copy that one file over from
an
earlier release. You will need to copy the generic,* files to
emc.* or
supply your own.
The "stock" g-code programs are not included to save filesize but you
can
copy those in if you want to test the release with them.
The August release includes all of the goodies.
- tkbackplot pops up from the tkemc view menu
- scripts are enabled in both genedit and tkemc
- probing has been written in and a sample script is there
- probe can also be called from a program
- steppermod.o is fixed for tuning and saving to the ini file
- fixed taskmain for M1 program end
- fixed some sync stuff after an abort
- changed MSG comments to pop up in operator information window
- added bi-directional lead screw compensation
- added script files so you can make your own release from sourceforge

I downloaded the bin-release. But I
wasn't so successful as Ray.
Even after reading and following his instructions I had the following
news:
(all emc.* files are from the January release copied into the emc directory)
emc.run 1>txt.log:
Current platform is linux_2_0_36
Current real-time platform is rtlinux_09J
inivar = plat/linux_2_0_36/bin/inivar

The file plat/rtlinux_09J/bin/ does not exist or is not executable.
and 2>txt.log

I do have the librcs.so file in the ../rcslib/plat/linux_2_0_36/lib
directory.
That's all.

Try copying librcs.so to /usr/lib.

If I remember correctly this is the same error message I was getting
when I
did the install on top of an existing EMC that was working fine. This
was
with RH 5.2. I continued to get the same error message after I reinstalled
the prior working version and had to delete the directory and reinstall
the
prior version to get EMC functional again (Jon Elson did point out
that a
./clean would probably have worked).
