There do not seem to be any instructions at [
slic3r.org] for tarball installs.
I downloaded and extracted the tarball into /opt. I had also installed all the dependent ubuntu packages as per that page and [
slic3r.org] with synaptic, although it appears they are only needed when installing from a git clone. I assume that it should not hurt to have them installed anyway, as slic3r presumably should need to use some of their object files. Perhaps the tarball install cannot find them. Anyway, I run -
$(cd /opt/Slic3r && /opt/Slic3r/bin/slic3r & )
and get -
Failed to initialize virtual file system at /Application::Loader line 1183.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/Slic3r/lib/std/File/Glob.pm line 7.
Compilation failed in require at /Application::Loader line 1433.
I don't want the git install if possible, as I would rather a stable tarball.
