nick 0 Posted October 28, 2014 in Cura won't start Hi there. I am having problems opening Cura on my windows PC. When I start cura I get the splash screen and then the programme stops. If I click the icon, the programme ends and disappears. Please see the output below; Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cura_14.09\python\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\_core.py", line 14660, in <lambda> lambda event: event.callable(*event.args, **event.kw) ) File "Cura\gui\splashScreen.py", line 15, in DoCallback self.callback() File "Cura\gui\app.py", line 99, in afterSplashCallback from Cura.gui import mainWindow File "Cura\gui\mainWindow.py", line 17, in <module> from Cura.gui import sceneView File "Cura\gui\sceneView.py", line 28, in <module> from Cura.gui.util import previewTools File "Cura\gui\util\previewTools.py", line 12, in <module> from Cura.gui.util import openglHelpers File "Cura\gui\util\openglHelpers.py", line 17, in <module> glutInit() #Hack; required before glut can be called.

DidierKlein 638 Posted October 29, 2014 in Cura won't start Hi, Have you tried other versions of Cura? What version of Windows are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daid 270 Posted October 29, 2014 in Cura won't start Do you have haskell install? (This problem happens when there is a glut32.dll in windows/system32 which isn't compattible with Cura. Haskell seems to be one of the programs that installs it there for no good reason) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 0 Posted October 29, 2014 in Cura won't start Sorry, I am asking on behalf of someone and I am unsure if they have Haskell installed or not If the DLL was installed on his PC by an other programme which requires the DLL to run, is there anyway this problem can be fixed? Is there perhaps an other version of Cura that can get around this problem? What would you advise? Thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daid 270 Posted October 29, 2014 in Cura won't start If the DLL was installed on his PC by an other programme which requires the DLL to run, is there anyway this problem can be fixed? Copy the DLL next to that programs executable, as that it where it should be. And then remove the one from windows/system32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 0 Posted October 30, 2014 in Cura won't start Just to confirm, there is no Glut32.dll in the system32 folder but instead a Glu32.dll in the system32 folder. Haskell is not installed on the PC. Are there examples of other programmes that would install this dll into that folder? If the programme that installed the dll cannot be identified and thus cannot be moved to the programmes executable file, what can be done? Are there any other solutions other than deleting this file from the system32 folder as this may affect other programmes that need it later? Thanks for your support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daid 270 Posted October 30, 2014 in Cura won't start Haskell is the only tool that I know right now. But most certain there will be others. You can rename/move the file and see if Cura works then. And see which application stops working after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 0 Posted October 30, 2014 in Cura won't start Just to clarify, there is no Glut32.dll in the system32 folder as you first mentioned. Instead there is a Glu32.dll in the system32 folder. Should I assume it is this glu32.dll that is causing this problem and is this the file you are referring to when you say to 'rename/move the file and see if Cura works then'?

Daid 270 Posted October 30, 2014 in Cura won't start Well, maybe the glu32.dll is the culpit. But the error is coming from glut32. Another cause could be the total lack of OpenGL drivers, but that usually gives other errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
