EMC - now getting desperate!

Hi all,

I still haven't managed to get EMC to do anything sensible. I don't
think the problem is with EMC itself but rather with linux - or at
least, my command of it. For some reason, when I try to run any of the
script files, I get a message of 'no such file or directory'. This has
now gone one step further to add to my frustration. I re-typed Tim's
'run.mymill' file which did not improve the situation and so I copied
most of his text onto a fresh file into which I had typed the first
couple of lines. When I tried to run it, it started, told me emc was
already running and that it was cleaning it up and then started to 'load
the motion modules'. At this point it gave me the now almost inevitable
message 'no such file or directory' as it tried to load steppermod.o.
When I then did a 'ls -l /usr/src/emc/plat/rtlinux_09J/lib/steppermod.o'
I got the reply:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root 4117 9819851 Jul26 23:08
plat/rtlinux_09J/lib/steppermod.o
which would seem to indicate to me that the file really is there!

Can some kind soul PLEASE put me out of my misery and explain what is
going wrong - is my computer rejecting me??

Thanks and Best wishes

Ian
