use "apt" (or whatever package manager comes with your distribution) for everything you can. it is simply better. > > On my Xubuntu machine, "apt" shows older versions of Pure Data > (0.48.1-3) and Gem (0.93.3-13), even if I install pd-deken-apt. > yes. that's expected. apt *guarantees* that the (apt-)installed version of Gem will work with the (apt-)installed version of Pd. this is something that deken simply cannot do. for instance, try installing ofelia on a recent version of Debian or Ubuntu via deken. most externals are trivial (no external libraries; using only C with its well defined ABI). some are not, e.g. Gem (a largish number of external libraries; written in C++, which has a not-so-stable and well-defined ABI). for those complex externals, deken is just not good enough. gfdsar IOhannes
