Hi Fabricators in Noisebridge,<div><br>I'm working on making fine PCBs with table top CNC Machine right now. I need a good opensource G-code simulator. Simulation version of LinuxCNC would be perfect, however, I can't get it running on my 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, every time I try to run it, There pops up this Error Message (Attached at the end of this email). I use the LinuxCNC binary here:<a href="http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/precise/linuxcnc2.5-sim/binary-amd64/linuxcnc-sim_2.5.0_amd64.deb" target="_blank">http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/precise/linuxcnc2.5-sim/binary-amd64/linuxcnc-sim_2.5.0_amd64.deb</a>. </div>
<div>There are other binaries here <a href="http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/precise/linuxcnc2.5-sim/binary-amd64/" target="_blank">http://www.linuxcnc.org/lucid/dists/precise/linuxcnc2.5-sim/binary-amd64</a>/, I am not sure which one to choose actually.<br>
<div><br></div><div>I can use a little help on figuring out how to run linuxCNC simulation on my laptop, or recommendation of another opensource/freeware gcode simulator. I'm aware of trial version of Mach3, CNC simulator, and GWizard. I just don't want use eagle-like close sourced software. Thanks folks!<br clear="all">
