so, how do you recommend installing pd with some of the most

libaries on an ubuntu (debian) machine then?
one simple way should be:
install puredata/gem/... via synaptics. this should resolve a lot of
dependencies for hc's installer.
then you can install hc's installer (if you want to, because (e.g.)
the
ubuntu versions deem you too outdated)
the ubuntu/debian-packages and hc's installer should happily live
together on one machine (the official packages will install themselves
into /usr/ while hc's installer should go into /usr/local; since
/usr/local/bin has usually a higher priority than /usr/bin you will
get
pd-extended when you type "pd" into your xterm.
what i actually did was:
first i looked into the synaptics manager, found pd. there was no
info
which version nor if it's bare pd or whatever, so i looked over to
HCS's
this is because "pd" is the old deprecated package name; the new
one is
called "puredata" (and "pd" is a virtual package provided by
"puredata"
to get dependencies right in the stage of transition)
site because i run have good experiences with his release on osx.
so i
tried to install this one and could not get Gem to run either even
after installing libmpeg, lib imagemagick and whatever else was
missing
even make itself seemed not to be there.
iirc, your last problem was with "glDeleteProgramsNV";
i guess that they only package that would help you here is the
nvidia-binary drivers (of course you will need an nvidia card to make
any use of them).
if you are using some other gfx-card, you will have to recompile Gem
yourself.
Since many people have non-nvidia cards, would it be possible to make
the default Gem build not dependent on nvidia-specific stuff? Then
there could be --enable-nvidia for people who want that.
When building packages (.deb, .tar.gz, whatever), its much more
important that it run on all machines, than its very well optimized
on specific machines. Later, it would be possible to add a pd-gem-
nvidia package, etc. etc.
.hc
this should be quite simple:
1) get all the packages _needed_ for building Gem; since you are
using a
Debian-based system, this is as simple as:
#> apt-get build-dep gem
1a) make sure you have automake and autoconf installed (it might be
that
automake is not yet in the build-dependencies of ubuntu's gem)
2) get recent source of Gem (from CVS!) and unpack them
3) optional(!): get some more packages for building Gem (there is a
readme somewhere)
4) build Gem (cd Gem/src && make)
if this is too complicated, get a cheap nvidia-card and it should run.
mfg,asdr.
