No, Pd doesn't search subdirectories, it never did, not even on
Windows. You have to specify *all* paths to your externals and
abstractions in the Preferences. So if 
/usr/lib/local/pd/extra/sigpack/decimate~.pd_linux should load when
you create a [decimate~] object, you have to add
/usr/lib/local/pd/extra/sigpack/ to your search path. And so on. It's
the same for Linux and Windows.

OK. Got it. Thanks for helping me make sense of it.

[PD] pd, windows ubuntu

2008-02-16 Thread Joe Newlin
Hi,

I'm new to both PD and Ubuntu.

I've been mainly using PD on Windows XP, but I've been trying to use
it on Ubuntu as well.

I noticed that patches I've created on XP don't quite work correctly
in Ubuntu. Why is this, and what can I do about it?

Also, I'm having trouble getting PD in Ubuntu to locate abstractions,
even after defining search paths.

Thanks,

Joe

2008-02-16 Thread Andy Farnell



What specific error messages are you seeing?
Are objects missing? Have paths changed?

Which versions are you using on the respective machines?
It could be more to do with that than the OS.

Locate errors by reading the console and using
Edit-Find Last Error

Re: [PD] pd, windows ubuntu

2008-02-16 Thread Joe Newlin
Okay, I was using .40-2. So I installed .39 extended, and solved one
problem: objects had been resized and everything was a mess.

That's okay now.

But some objects are missing, e.g. decimate~ from extra/sigpack. The
object is installed in /usr/lib/local/pd/extra/sigpack (with a
.pd_linux extension - which leads me to wonder what this extension is,
and why these objects have it) but pd can't create the object.

Having similar trouble with other objects in different paths, although
I have tried defining the paths in File menu and everything looks
okay, but the objects aren't being created.

I appreciate the help, thanks.

Does the sigpack library load when you specify it in the Startup
preferences?  The .pd_linux extension is just a pd external binary for
linux.  I have had problems like this before - try running pd with
verbose (pd -verbose from the terminal) and see what you get as far as
specific errors.  This can and will be fixed - it's probably something
simple :)

I tried running pd -verbose from the terminal, but got the same
errors. It looks like at least some of the extended libraries are not
being searched, and that pd is not searching subdirectories of the
paths I entered.

I'm sure it is something simple, but being fairly in the dark about
both pd and linux, putting the two together is a recipe for confusion.
