The touchy interface is so new that it's not in the most recent stable release (2.3.5). If you want to use touchy you'll have to upgrade to an experimental pre-release of 2.4.0. 2.4.0 is not ready for release yet, but we've been making pre-releases, and I think at least some people are using it successfully. Upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4 means you'd probably have to make some changes to your configuration. If you feel like being an early adopter, here is a (possibly incomplete) list of changes when upgrading: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?UPDATING#Changes_between_2_3_x_and_2_4_x You can get the pre-release 2.4 packages here: http://emc2-buildbot.colorado.edu/~buildmaster/ If you decide to try this, please let us know how it works! Let us know if the upgrade instructions work. Bug reports against the pre-release versions are very welcome! -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
