Wow, I remember the original request.  I think, maybe, this is a case of 
a poorly-worded
error message that doesn't really say what the problem is.  It should 
say something like "encoder index true at beginning of search for index".
What was the exact text of the error message?  (I looked back but 
couldn't find your original message.)  If it is as unsuggestive of the real
cause as I seem to recall, maybe we need to improve the message.

[Emc-users] Cam Webinar

2010-07-20 Thread Rainer Schmidt
I'm giving a free CAM webinar tomorrow Wednesday the 21st.
You can sign up here:

http://tinyurl.com/2abvkua

I'll use Rhino, RhinoCam and T-splines to make a part. With videos to show the 
machining.
So if you are not familiar with Rhino/Rhinocam and or T-Splines then this is a 
quick intro. 
I promise that it will be paced well. Better than a family slide show 8)))

Cheers
Rainer

Andy,
I do have an Ubuntu 8.04 system running emc on my laptop (which keeps
overheating because the fan is u/s). Putting emc on opensuse is by way
of interest (it keeps me out the pub and off the streets) as I run
opensuse on my desktop pc. The reason for this is historical.

I am writing some software in c# running under mono. Unfortunately
ubuntu 8.04 did not support the latest monodevelop ide versions (dont
know if it does now). However once compiled my program runs under mono
on ubuntu 8.04. I had thought to run a later ubuntu version which will
support the monodevelop ide but of course that still means rebuilding
emc to suit.

I bought a refurbished pentium 4 esprimo with 1 gb memory and 80gb hard
drive to replace the laptop and will load it up with the standard 8.04 +
Emc when it arrives.

Have a look at the .rej files and see if you can do the patches by hand?

(Or just use the precompiled packages and get used to Ubuntu?)

Thanks, I tried this and it ran ok but reported failures. Also then
tried to rebuild the partially patched kernel but it failed. So I guess
I will contact the rtai team to ask how to obtain a patch for 2.6.34-12.

Re: [Emc-users] building RT addition - help

x86_64 is obsolete. Since 2.6.24 both 32bit (i386) and 64bit (x86_64) have 
been merged into x86.
You'll have to use the patch from x86.

Regards,
Alex
