Re: [PD] more eee trouble (on xandros)
Sounds like you are missing Tk (aka libtk). you will definitely need that if you want to see the GUI. It should now run without the GUI like this: pd -nogui .hc On Jun 27, 2008, at 4:59 AM, potax flan wrote: hi im trying to install extended using hans' deb package and xandros (i know ubuntu and debian are better but i do wanna keep this) when i launch pd from the terminal i get: /usr/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory am i missing a library? how to fix it? thanks ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/ listinfo/pd-list ¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido! ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] more eee trouble (on xandros)
Potax, How did you install pd-extended without installing tk? Hans, isn't it a dependency that has to be met for the package to be installed? Potax, did you enable Debian repositories as per the wiki on eeeuser.com? I'd find the link but it seems the site has some downtime right now. Are you in easy mode or advanced mode in Xandros? If you're in easy mode, do a CTRL+ALT+T to bring up the terminal, and type in sudo synaptic When you press enter, you'll be prompted for your password, after which the synaptic package manager will load. Do a search for libtk or tk and look for something called libtkwhatever that is at least version 8.4. This is the general idea for installing programs on Linux - programmers save themselves work by borrowing from libraries written by other people to make their job easier so they don't have to write as much code. The hardest part used to be tracking down and installing all the libraries just to get your one program working. Now it's much easier with the Debian/Ubuntu system of packages. Hypothetically speaking say you want to have some dinner because you worked up a hunger learning Linux. You tell Xandros I want some dinner! and it says wait wait, my young potax, before you can have your dinner I have to get you the peas, the carrots, the tofu, and the lemonade. Only then will your dinner be truly functional and delicious. All you care about at this point is your dinner, but the synaptic package manager runs the errands for you. So to summarize, you're missing the lemonade. Run synaptic and get yo self some tk lemonade. km On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 7:05 AM, potax flan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: so how do i install tk? thanks On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 12:40 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sounds like you are missing Tk (aka libtk). you will definitely need that if you want to see the GUI.

Re: [PD] more eee trouble (on xandros)
thanks for your long and detailed answer kevin, i added repositories, pinned the system, managed to install tk8.4 and now pd (extended 0.40.3) loads with gui and all but it's missing libs still. pdp, pipid and gem. i will need gem (i know the eee is not the perfect machine, but it's really minor gem action). a friend managed to install hans' 0.39 deb package and gem works. is there a reason why gem shouldn't be properly installed using 0.40 ? workarounds? should i uninstall 0.40 and reinstall 0.39?

Re: [PD] more eee trouble (on xandros)
The error messages in the Pd window will tell you which libraries are missing. If you have trouble finding them, post the contents of your Pd window here. It should have installed all the needed dependencies, if it is a Debian-based system. I don't know Xandros at all. Try running this in your Terminal: sudo apt-get -f install That should install all of the missing libs pd-extended needs. .hc On Fri, 27 Jun 2008, potax flan wrote: thanks for your long and detailed answer kevin, i added repositories, pinned the system, managed to install tk8.4 and now pd (extended 0.40.3) loads with gui and all but it's missing libs still. pdp, pipid and gem. i will need gem (i know the eee is not the perfect machine, but it's really minor gem action). a friend managed to install hans' 0.39 deb package and gem works. is there a reason why gem shouldn't be properly installed using 0.40 ? workarounds? should i uninstall 0.40 and reinstall 0.39?
