Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: pd-extended Group: v0.39.2
Status: Closed Resolution: Later
Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: IOhannes m zmölnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Summary: "pdsend" broken
Initial Comment: in the latest and greatest pd-extended release (.tar.bz2!) on a debian system, the installed "pdsend" application crashes with "floating point exception".
the version installed by debian's "puredata" package works just fine.

I think the ALSA dependency is probably due to Pd just using one linking statement for everything. While this is imperfect behavior, it would probably mean redoing the Pd makefile. That needs doing for sure, but I don't think this case is the reason to do it.
As for installing Pd-extended on Debian without replacing the 'puredata' package, you can uncompress a .deb using 'dpkg -x', then install it wherever you want. but then because of the way Pd finds its libs and docs, you'd have to run pd like:
cd /path/to/my/extracted/pd-extended/bin ./pd

i know kinda found out why the planetccrma package was installed: the user has a running and stable pd installed (as debian package "puredata"), and had no intention to swap this for a system they did not know at all (in terms of quality)
so they tried to avoid the debian package which would potentially overwrite their installation (which it does not, but how would anybody know?)
to chose the fc/ccrma precompiled binaries was certainly a bad decision (they seem to not have found the "source" package at first glance)

btw, i unpacked the ccrma-package on my debian machine (lenny/sid; 2.6.21-1-multimedia-486 on an amd64 in legacy mode) and pd-extended's pdsend did _not_ crash.
nevertheless i noticed following: dependencies for my "vanilla" pdsend $ ldd /usr/bin/pdsend linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d8e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef8000)
dependencies for the "extended" pdsend $ ldd Pd-0.39.3-extended/bin/pdsend linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7ee6000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7ec0000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7ea9000) libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0xb7de2000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7c9a000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f0c000)
probably the problem lies with some of the (void) dependencies; why does pdsend need alsa?

see group: "v0.39.2" (which is btw is not fully correct as it is 0.39.3)
the problem does not happen on my machine, so i cannot provide all the information needed :-)
anyhow, here is what i know: pd : Pd-0.39.3-extended-planetccrma6-i386.tar.bz2 system: Linux version 2.6.18-5-686 (Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch4) arch : ibm-notebook (i686); don't remember anything else
don't ask me why the planetccrma-package was installed on a debian machine.
