Slic3r error
June 05, 2013 03:28PM
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?
Thanks

Have you checked in pronterface that the slic3r paths are correct?

I figured out why I received that error found a link on the net, they say you have to install slic3r, run it and export the .ini file to create the profile. I found slic3r wasnt installed correctly, so I followed the following directions.

[github.com]

When I try to launch slic3r,
./slic3r.pl
I get the following error
Can't locate Boost/Geometry/Utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /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 .) at /home/dave/Slic3r/lib/Slic3r.pm line 32.

Compilation failed in require at ./slic3r.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./slic3r.pl line 13.

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

What does @INC mean? Can't I just paste a copy of Utils.pm there? Dont understand the path or what @INC represents.
I have several Utils.pm files of varying sizes, if I did copy one which one would I use?

Ok I found a page that says to:
Grab the cpan modules required for slic3r, and test it to be sure it loads up properly, and enter:
sudo cpanm Boost::Geometry::Utils Math::Clipper \
Math::ConvexHull Math::ConvexHull::MonotoneChain \
Math::Geometry::Voronoi Math:tongue sticking out smileylanePath Moo Wx
./slic3r.pl
When I do I get:

Perhaps Im on a wild goose chase but been trying to get this going for many days and my noob status is frustrating me, just wish I could be like everone else on here and sit around printing cool things!

I regards to the question/comment on the slicer path when I go to slicer settings I get the error again:
Entering slicer settings: ./Slic3r/bin/slic3r --datadir ./profiles/
Skeinforge execution failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I looked in my Slic3r directory and there isn't even a bin directory there, perhaps I need to try downloading the slicer again

Update went to:
[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:

FWIW:

@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.

How do I do that? Plus when I search my computer for Slic3r.pm, it doesn’t exist anywhere, so even if the include path was correct its not gona find a file that doesn't exist? ITs looking for a file that isnt anywhere!
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me!

OMG yes it works!
For those with the same problem, delete all files and folders, or rename containing slic3r.
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.
