are you using the Pd-extended builds or did you build Gem yourself?
afaik, Pd-extended does not link against libv4l, thus you do not enjoy it's pleasures. simply do % ldd Gem.pd_linux | grep -i v4l

I could not find libv4l in the ubuntu repos but have libv4l-0 installed.
this is the same. it is just a naming issue, which you will find often in Debian/Ubuntu, supposedly to get around the issue of API-changes (and being able to install several different API-versions of a single library at the same time)
if you compile Gem yourself, you will also want to install the development-headers of libv4l (libv4l-dev) before running configure.
finally: afaik, you can force an application built without libv4l to use it by employing some pre-linker magic. ("LD_PRELOAD_LIB=/usr/lib/libv4l.so pd -lib Gem" or the like) - please see the README.txt that comes with libv4l for instructions.

yep. I'm using pd-extended and yep. Nothing for grep.

yep. This works:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/pd
Thanks!

hi,
would it be possible to compile Gem 0.91.3 with font support? i am using the version on sourceforge for Mac OS X.

yes, I think instead of ftgl you have to install libftgl1 (use fink) and when you do configure put the flag --with-ftgl-libs=/sw/lib.
I had some help from Hans, when I first got this working and in my notes I have a line saying "get files from hans (put them into /sw/.../finkinfo)"... so maybe there is some additional magic to that?
you can still grab gem with font support from pd-extended. grab the latest autobuild from http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/ there is a version for pd 0.40 and pd 0.41.

libftgl1 is now included in Fink/unstable, so you just need to switch to unstable, then do:
fink install libftgl1

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

that won't help here, as Gem does no weak linking (or however you call it). either it links dynamically to libftgl.so (in which case Gem won't load if the library is not present; upstream this ought to be avoided, as dynamic linkage pulls in dependencies on X11) or we link statically against libftgl.a (which makes bigger binaries, but no added dependencies) or we forget to link against ftgl alltogether (so we don't have font support).
the binaries i posted ought to be #2 but were #3.

libftgl.a is included with the libftgl1 fink package, so you could statically link against it.

good to know.
how about libfreetype2? is this available for static linkeage as well (without pulling X11 in?)

With the fink version, it is in:
/sw/lib/freetype219/lib/libfreetype.a
The wacky thing about the freetype219 package is that is it actually freetype 2.3.7.
