I'm having problems already cited elsewhere with rvbap - whereby it
crashes with a "Signal 6" when adjusting the azimuth and having first
configured the external with a 2D speaker array (eg. with a message:
"define_loudspeakers 2 -45 45 0 180").
I've tried this with pdextended on linux (i'm using ubuntu 11.04) and
also by compiling the external with this source:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/externals/vbap/
Same thing.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

When you compile the external from source, you have the possibility to enable debug. I edited Makefile (with an uppercase) to change that, but debugging info was already enabled (-g). I changed the optimisation flags though (-O1 instead of -O6 -fomit-frame-pointer).

btw, the use of those flags is misleading, as -O6 is completely the same as -O3, and -fomit-frame-pointer (which hinders debugging) is already included in -O2 and -O3 (in -O1 it depends, see manpage).

-funroll-loops, however, has no impact on debuggability...

Then if you run :

  valgrind pd vbap-help.pd

and click around a bit, you get :

which is a lot more informative when it can report function names, rather than just the library names...
