I have a memory of having to change a couple of parameters in the makefile to get it to work. But it did. Sorry I'm not more precise, it was a while ago and I don't do much compiling either. One of the pleasures of Puredyne is that it pretty much all works so it generally doesn't require much fiddling with. This can also be a negative too. > > Yes, I might like the preinstalled version as I understand that it must be > configured precicely and therefore stable and reliable, so I am willing to > give it a try.

On my computer it's in /home/julian and you need 'show hidden files' turned on in the folder window. This is where your pd pointing is done I think. Check if your abstractions are being set to the wrong folder in the .pdrc, just correct/add-to the file and save out, reboot pd. > > The second problem is that I don't know how to install or even find the > abstractions that I am missing (freeverb is the one I noticed), but I guess > that both this problems should be posted in the pd list instead (?), and I > believe that this last one might not be difficult to solve anyway (hope I'm > right). > You should be able to find those easily online but I am also aware that Pd still has no satisfactory way of telling you what externals you are missing. I would recommend checking that all the available libs in Puredyne are definitely booting and then see what, if anything, you are missing. I have compiled a few libs recently and it was pretty painless(pmpd for example), although there are a few that defeated me (cyclone). As someone has mentioned previously it is possible to just transfer some libs from program to program and across different computers but I guess it should in no way be seen as a sensible solution. > > Something relating Puredyne that I don't get is how do you install a debian > package, I mean, as I tried xubuntu before for a month or two, and as I > realize Puredyne is based in it, how is it that Puredyne does not have the > automatic installing proccess when clicking on a .deb file, just asking for > the needed packages? > You have the 'gDebi' package installer? Sometimes I add things that I think everyone already has, Ed Kelly recommended having the 'xfce cpu govorner' which is very handy for example. One of the design aims of Puredyne is to be much lighter than Ubuntu, sometimes that streamlining makes for a more involved interaction with the OS. > > Also, when I right click in the download manager in firefox and choose > "open containing folder" why is it asking me to choose a program to open it > with? what should I do then? > Ah yes, that is irritating isn't it.

I too am very much Linux-light and perhaps some more knowledgeable list'ers can weigh in to help with your specific problems. If not, apparently the irc channel is where you can find some of the devs, some of the time. > > Thank you again and best wishes to you too, > Your welcome and kind regards, Julian > Felix > > Julian Brooks wrote: > > Hey Felix and welcome to the list, > > Well firstly I would say that you should check/search some of the previous > threads - my memory is that there is one from a month or so ago that walks > you through the process (though I haven't tried it myself).
