It does not work for me either.

As you wrote, linuxcnc has 1:1 mapping from joints to axes, where
world->c is mapped to joint[5]. I think it does not work because
scarakins.c does not calculate with this mapping problem:

Scarakins inverse kinematics:
    joint[0] = q0;
    joint[1] = q1;
    joint[2] = D1 + D3 - D5 - z;
    joint[3] = c - ( q0 + q1);             ////////// joint[3]
    joint[4] = world->a;
    joint[5] = world->b;
Scarakins forward kinematics:
    world->tran.x = x;
    world->tran.y = y;
    world->tran.z = z;
    world->c = c * 180 / PM_PI;    /////////// axis C

    world->a = joint[4];
    world->b = joint[5];

I understand your point about axis naming, but using world->a seems to
be a straight forward solution of this issue. Correct me if I am wrong
somewhere.
