Need help starting GEM on Win 95
by Stephen J. Parise 11 Oct '98

11 Oct '98

My system: Pentium 150, 32 MB of RAM, AWE 64 Gold. Please tell me if this setup is too slow. PD by itself is slow but it runs. From what I understand, to start GEM I click on the Start Menu, Run, and type: D:\pd\bin\pd -lib /pd/gem/GEM or create a shortcut and type the same in the Start In value. The location of the startup files in my system are: D:\pd\bin\pd D:\pd\gem\GEM What happens is that only the MSDOS window will appear for a split second then close. Is there a trick to specify the drive the library is on? Other comands I tried: D:\pd\bin\pd -dac -lib /pd/gem/GEM D:\pd\bin\pd -nosound -lib /pd/gem/GEM D:\pd\bin\pd -adc -lib /pd/gem/GEM D:\pd\bin\pd -lib D:/pd/gem/GEM D:\pd\bin\pd -lib D:\pd/gem/GEM I tried moving everything (PD and GEM files) to the C Drive. The command line: \pd\bin\pd would work for PD, but not: \pd\bin\pd -lib /pd/gem/GEM What am I missing, please stop me from shopping for a G3. -- Stephen Stephen J.

Sv: Need help starting GEM on Win 95

Hi, I have just startet using PD and GEM, but I also also had the same problem - and solved it. It seems, that the PD commandline parameters are case sensitive (!!!!) In my case it works fine if I type: pd -lib /pd/gem/Gem (with an uppercase G) Remember to put both the 'pd' and 'pd/gem' directories in your path! However, GEM also seems to be sensitive to where PD is located. I could not start GEM when I installed PD in a subdirectory (e.g. c:\music\pd\ with gem in c:\music\pd\gem\) but that doesn't seem to be your problem. By the way, are you using NT or 95/98?? I have tried win95 and Linux, and I think the it is running rather slowly under win95 compared to the Linux version. Please don't by a G3 - make a Linux box instead - it's free - and better ;-) Gee, I hope this works, otherwise this will look like a REEEEAL stupid answer!! ------------------------------------------ Soeren Bovbjerg Aalborg University, Denmark ------------------------------------------ >My system: Pentium 150, 32 MB of RAM, AWE 64 Gold.

RE: gem on linux
by Guenter Geiger 07 Oct '98

Hi ! What configure does is just trying to compile a mini program with the library. You can look into src/Gnu/config.log what happened (must be at the very end). You could also try to link a mini progam with gltt yourself, then you will see why the linker can´t find it. That is, configure currently looks in the standard paths and in the AuxLibs path for a *compiled* gltt. Also, I have just finished version 0.77 and it is currently being uploaded to Debian. If that succeeds I will announce the new version publicly. Good luck Guenter ---------- From: oswald berthold[SMTP:ost@farmermanual.co.at] Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 1998 4:08 PM To: Guenter Geiger Cc: 'dlock(a)acs.itd.uts.edu.au'; 'pd-list(a)iem.mhsg.ac.at' Subject: gem on linux hey there been installing PD on a gericom notebook (dubious austrian manufacturer) and it runs really fine, but when i try to install gem, i still get the same ERROR (while configuring GEM with ./configure) namely while "looking for main in gltt" it just doesnt find/recognize gltt, althoug its installed (in /usr/local/) and also hanging out in the AuxLibs directory (which if specified in the configure file as the dir to look for libs) any hints fro that, thanks loads, osss p.s.: all this on a "freshly installed RedHat 5.1" thingy linux so, should i just switch to debain?? ;) woink

RE: pd -linux install
by Guenter Geiger 07 Oct '98

For those who want to know .. The solution the last time was, that RedHat´s configuration tool broke the network setup. So, when doing > ifconfig you should see a lo0 net device. Pd needs the lo0, but I´m not sure why ... (X can run without that). How to get Redhat back into it´s proper state is also unknown to me as I´m using Debian. Anyhow, if pd and pd-gui are in your path (which is normally the case after doing a make -f makefile.linux install), it is most likely a problem with your network setup.

I asked Miller and he said it had to do with the fact that Pd has a problem with search paths and he is working on it. The solution it the use the full path for the executable in your alias, something like " alias pd '/usr/local/pd/bin/pd' ". I think what happens is that the audio processing part of Pd can not find the window managers, tcl and tk, and the gui with out a compleate path specification.
