I had walked away from my printer for a few months and when I came back everything would work, but when I hit print nothing would happen so I downloaded the new pronterface software now I get the following error. IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './profiles//slic3r.ini' I searched my system and this file def. doesnt exsist anywhere on my system anyone know how to correct this?

Then follow source download instructions here:
[slic3r.org]
ignore the part underneath that talks about installing other crap first. Just do the top four lines and it works, installs everything checks everything.
When your finished you can enter slic3r with ./slic3r.pl and it will work!
Havent set pronterface up yet, but it works standalone, so should be no problem.]]> virgodave61 Slic3r Sat, 08 Jun 2013 22:00:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216082#msg-216082 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216082#msg-216082 Thank you very much for taking the time to help me!]]> virgodave61 Slic3r Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:21:27 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216079#msg-216079 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216079#msg-216079
@INC is the list of include paths that your perl install searches for libraries.

So in the last msg, it checked for the libraries in the following directories:

/home/dave/Slic3r/lib
/etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2
/usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.14
/usr/share/perl/5.14
/usr/local/lib/site_perl
.

Note: The last directory it checked is ".", which is the CURRENT directory the process is in (ie: may not necessarily be the dir you're in when you run slic3r, but it usually is).

If you've installed the library, I'd find out if the library has either installed itself in one of those directories, or if it's created a symbolic link in one of those directories that points to the real install.

Hope this explains things/helps.]]> Cefiar Slic3r Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:08:10 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216071#msg-216071 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216071#msg-216071 [dl.slic3r.org]
And downloaded the tar, when I unpacked it the bin directory was there but not the profile file, but like I said earlier they say you need to create the file when you start slic3r, but all the other files in the main directory weren’t there so I copied them over from the old directory, it could be the bin directory isnt created normally until you create the profile, but anyway I still get the same error when I try to run slic:

I looked in my Slic3r directory and there isn't even a bin directory there, perhaps I need to try downloading the slicer again]]> virgodave61 Slic3r Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:42:26 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216042#msg-216042 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216042#msg-216042 Grab the cpan modules required for slic3r, and test it to be sure it loads up properly, and enter:

When I try to launch slic3r,
./slic3r.pl
I get the following error

So I tried reinstalling the Boost/Geometry/Utils and get a message saying everything is installed.

Any ideas and by the way thanks for the help]]> virgodave61 Slic3r Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:46:02 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216007#msg-216007 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216007#msg-216007 Iceflow Slic3r Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:59:07 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216004#msg-216004 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,215641,216004#msg-216004
