And now the startup error seems to be pointing at a missing gladevcp. Thats is a gcode helper I don't use very often. Removed its references from the .ini file, and linixcnc runs ok w/o it. But this is typical, everytime we find a tool that lets us enhance the usefullness of linuxcnc, it gets removed. A tool that needs GTK-2, I had installed it to see if it would be helpfull when I was doing something I'd not done before. I generally write my own g-code, its not THAT hard. I got to look at it for about 6 months, now its gone and in terms of GUI usefullness, GTK-3 isn't even as usefull as those famous appendages on a boar hogs belly. Not your fault but Grrrrrrrrrr. Than you Slávek, and I hope 2020 is a better year for everybody... Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
