Hi

I built my first 3d printer. An i3 prusa. It seems to work! Woohoo!

On Archlinux, I use printrun to move the printhead around and as far as I can tell, this works like a charm. If I understood correctly, I now need a slic3r to actually print something. When I try to start slic3r from printrun (pronterface), it tells me

python: can't open file 'skeinforge/skeinforge_application/skeinforge.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I think this is an old setting and I probably just need to change the path that's invoked in the options menu. However, I first tried to run slic3r without printrun. I have a config file for slic3r from here. So I try to start slic3r with

I'm not sure if I should be worried about the mismatch of wxpython. wxpython 3 is default on Archlinux, but I installed both printrun and slic3r against wxpython 2.8, which is still in the repositories. wxpython 2.6 is not in the repositories anymore and would cause more work.

The rest of the error message is pretty much gibberish to me.

Can anyone help me getting this to run? Help is much appreciated. I'm also happy to just use the console, without gui, as long as I know what to do.

I think I have a similar issue (Arch x64). Here's what I get:

List::Util object version 1.41 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.42 at /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/DynaLoader.pm line 216.

My solution is to download a precompiled version. It runs fine.

Do you use the user repository? I use slic3r and printrun-bin (!) from the AUR and it now works as well. :-)

Yeah, I've tried them... If it makes a difference, I don't use the Slic3r copy built into pronterface, I like to keep my software separate.
