more important: did the crash go away with the downgrade?
I ended up with a broken Jack so I could not test this.
I want to go back. Package management seems like an awesome idea until this. Just give me a download including all the libraries statically linked and I will happily download a few MB more....
this won't help you at all in the given situation, where you have multiple applications (like Pd) talking to a single server (like jackd). they *must* share some common infrastructure.
OK, still allow me to vent my frustration for a moment: For OS X and Windows you get precompiled binaries, while Linux users are expected to be almost fully qualified developers just for running an application. I mean sure, I can go back to Pd from the repositories (thanks IOhannes for the packaging work by the way, we love you). If you are not running debian testing but some Ubuntu (-derivate) that's version 0.46.7 of Pd. The latest and greatest.
We've talked about this at the convention for a moment, with Liam and me describing this Linux user perspective. Remember?
Dan also put in a lot of work into the install.txt to make it easier to follow for non-devs. Thanks Dan, we love you too.
(For Ubuntu users,) the next step would be to have a .deb file to install, or alternatively a PPA from which I can install a stable, testing and daily branch of Pd.
Someone said that setting up a PPA is trivial, so I am eager to try this. Actually I was already reading up on it, that's why I tried to compile the test version in the first place.
