Hi Pete

The run script attempts to remove any old modules that may be left over from 
an earlier run. In the past, EMC would not shutdown cleanly and so some 
modules were left in memory - Do a Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace to kill X and then 
lsmod to see what is left in memory !

A quick fix for your problem is to make a copy of generic.run and save it as 
sim.run - Edit line 27 so that INIFILE=sim.ini.

Regards, Paul.
