/usr/share/linuxcnc/hallib/lathe.hal error

I created 1 config with pfconfig. no issues with this one. then i used pfconfig to create a second one and copy the same ini and hal files into the second config and im getting a /usr/share/linuxcnc/hallib/lathe.hal error addf failed / servo-thread not found. they should both be identical so im not sure why one would work but not the second one? im trying to create 2 different configs for the same machine. one with axis and one with probe basic.

anyone have any thoughts?

Looks like you are loading 'lathe.hal' and there is a conflict with a component that was already added in another hal file.

Copy/pasting entire hal and ini files between configs is rarely a good idea. I would suggest you only copy/paste lines you really need.

Thanks for the tip. It was loading the wrong file.

HAL files specified in the HALFILES variable are found using a search. If the named file is found in the directory containing the INI file, it is used. If the named file is not found in this INI file directory, a search is made using a system library of HAL files.
