SOFTWARE

Hi there,

I have been having a few problems getting the host software to run. I have had it running before but it now wont open. I started again following the instruction online and the program still fails to open. The reason says it is error level 1?

Is there steps missing from the instructions such as coping files to directories that a programing novice would have overlooked.

Are you using windows? If so could you post more details from the command prompt?
After the 'error level 1' message has appeared right click anywhere inside the command prompt window and select 'Mark'
Select all the lines by dragging with the left mouse button
press Ctrl + C to copy
then paste it here

Yes im using windows. I cant paste into this box but if you give me an email i can send it that way if thats any good?

Got it to work. was just my skills letting me down!

I've run into that sort of thing when Sun updates their JRE. It installs a new runtime but doesn't re-point to any extended libraries I had installed. The library it's having trouble with in your case is the RXTX stuff. You may need to reinstall it or move it to a new location. More info here: [reprap.org]

Hi,

I have downloaded the reprap-host-20080523, but I can't run it & the screen shows the same things. What can I do?
