John,
Thanks for posting your example....I originally followed instructions from another of your earlier posts and created a subroutine directory and placed the .ngc files within it...pointed the .ini to that subdirectory to no avail...That subdirectory still exists, I changed my ini to point to it again and edited the other appropriate files and copied the .tcl files to ~/emc2 as well as left them in the .configs subdirectory...This is still not seeing these files and subdirectories...I am stumped...Below is a copy of the pertinent Display section...

Unfortunately, nothing I have tried, and I have tried everything I can think of for last two days seems to work...

Thanks again John

How did you upgrade to 2.5?

Oh I see you used synaptic...

If you comment out all the ngcgui parts does Axis load and show you 2.5 on the title bar?

John

John,

Yes sir, it does show 2.5 on the title bar...
What are your thoughts?

Mike

John,
I added the following from the 2.4 instructions:

USER_COMMAND_FILE = ./tkapp.py

No Joy....Axis did not break either...

Right now I am wondering if it might be better to un-install emc2 then reinstall...

Mike

John,
copied .tkapp.py into the config directory....no joy again....I don't know if it is interesting or not, but nothing I have done has borked Axis...it just seems to always start...

Mike
