Embedding ngcgui in EMC 2.4.x 2 Months ago Karma: 45
This is a short step by step to install Dewey Garretts ngcgui into Axis assuming you have EMC2 2.4
installed on Ubuntu 8.04 and not a RIP.

Open up a terminal and type the following commands 
cd emc2
mkdir ngcgui
cd ngcgui
wget gnipsel.com/shop/emc2/ngcgui/ngcgui.tgz 
or
wget www.panix.com/-dgarrett/ngcguilngcgui.tgz 
tar zxf ngcgui.tgz
sudo apt-get install libtk-img

Now you have the files located in emc2/ngcgui/t\ngcgui tst directory. 
Using the file browser copy the following files to your config directory 
tkapp.py (2.4 only)
ngcgui_app.tcl
ngcgui.tci
ngcgui ttt.tcl

Now copy the following files from the testsuite directory to the emc2/nc files directory.
gosper.ngc 
gosper.png 
hw.ngc 
ihex.ngc 
iquad.ngc 
iquad.png 
xyz.ngc 
xyz.png

Now open your ini file and add the following to the [DISPLAY] section.

USER-COMMAND-FILE = tkapp.py
TKAP= ngcgui app.tcl
NGCGUI = ngcgui.tcl
NGCGUI_FONT = Courier -10 normal
NGCGUI_PREAMBLE = /home/username/emc2/nc files/in _std.ngc 
NGCGUI_SUBFILE = /home/usemame/emc2/nc files/simp.ngc 
NGCGUI SUBFILE = /home/username/emc2/nc files/iquad.ngc 
NGCGUISUBFILE = /home/username/emc2/nc fles/gosper.ngc 
NGCGUI_ OPTIONS = nonew noremove nonew

This should get you up and going with embedded ngcgui. 

Thanks Dewey!
