partition_path
I can't seem to get partition_path to work.
This is an example from the wiki, but it doesn't recognize
partition_path.
include <BOSL2/std.scad>
linear_extrude(height=100)
stroke(
partition_path([
40, "jigsaw", 10, "jigsaw yflip", 40,
"hammerhead 30x20",
40, "jigsaw yflip", 10, "jigsaw", 40,
],
$fn=24
),
width=3
);
It helps to paste exactly the output you get on the console.
Also helps to try something simple, like example 2:
include <BOSL2/std.scad>
stroke(partition_path(["sawtooth"]), width=3);

That gives me:

I am attempting to duplicate your setup, but am working with an N95
system running a customized ubuntu.
I'm stuck trying to install the latest version of BOSL2. Github is
rejecting my request as this is not my normal machine. How should I
proceed?
Thank you.

In general it is very difficult to help someone if we don't get to
see the error messages. So please in the future include the
exact error message you're getting.
I can't think of a reason why github would refuse you a clone of a
public project.
So my guess is that you're using the "ssh: link" to try to clone
the repository.
Roger.

Looks like I have bigger problems, I cannot modify an example file,
change one var then save-as, no perms running as me.

I finally did download the .zip and was going to put it where openscad
says, but openscad doesn't show the library path, its odd, says:
Opening file browser for
/home/mauriceeheskett/snap/openscad-nightly/5720/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries
But nothing runs. cheat sheet displays as usual. Color me confused...
Thank you Roger
