gladevcp catalog, and other questions

Andy Pugh provided the correct answer!  forum.linuxcnc.org/48-gladevcp/40971-how...-get-gladevcp#196434
To get the older version of Glade for the Pi LinuxCNC one must install Glade-3 after doing a
sudo apt-get update and although I don't know if it made difference before the update I also did a
sudo apt-get dist-update.
After that, as the screen shows.
sudo apt-get glade-3 --fix-missing.
Without the --fix-missing it won't install.
 
And now I can run the helloworld example and see the hal LEDs etc.
But there's still an issue as this next screen shot shows.
 
The buttons are there and the path to the icons are correct inside the structure describing the button.  The Glade-3 IDE does a pretty crappy job of representing the glade file.   Even the newer Glade version that Justin said wouldn't work does a better job of at least showing the icons even if it can't find the gladevcp.
At this point the pi4 is going to be put back into the cardboard storage box along with the new 1200x800 touch screen. 
Thanks everyone,
John

Thank god

I don't understand why I discard the PI4, I have my lathe working with one with 7i92, 7i88, 7i73, raspian 11, 64 bits, GLADE and everything works fine.And I'm putting together another one with 7c81, 7i88, C10 and BOB 5 axis China.

There's nothing wrong with you using a Raspberry Pi. You have Glade working and that's great.....But you cannot use Glade-GTK3 to open a file made with gladevcp for glade-GTK2

That wasn't a tough concept but some people have a problem with that fact and aren't willing to learn the environment. Those people are better off doing something else with themselves.

Mr Justin White, (using blazini36 to hide his real name)
I'm leaving this alone simply because of your abusive comments. You've done a great job of driving me away. Your most recent posting is perfect example.

I have a lot of projects on the go and don't need the abuse nor to spend time on something that clearly won't work.

I'm in the middle of designing an add on board with a PIC32 that plugs into the PIC18F4685 socket of my ELS product. The PIC18 software ported without any major issues directly to a PIC32, running more than 10x faster and now I'll have a hardware quadrature encoder input for it along with USB so dongles can be plugged in along with other USB devices.

I've designed both the software and hardware for this project which started in 2006. We've discussed using LinuxCNC underneath the covers with the current hardware serving as the user interface. This is on the groups.io/g/E-Leadscrew group which would have had you moderated instantly for your derogatory comments.

However your abusive comments, like calling me a troll, are the main reason so many others just aren't interested in LinuxCNC. People reading the this thread for reference will find that they won't post simply because you might react that way to them.

Congratulations.

It is not true, I have created virtual panels in GLADE 3 and later, I have been able to edit them with GLADE 3, like what I am showing in GLADE 3, which were created with GLADE 2, the only thing is that some wigets have been decapitated.
