With some adjustments (mostly renaming dependencies), I managed to install Gem 0.94, 0.94_pre1 and 0.93.3 from Debian packages on my system this way. However, with 0.94 and 0.94_pre1, when I create a [gemwin], I get runtime errors about "gemdefaultwindow.pd" and "gemdefaultwindow.pat" not being found. (gemwin.pd is found and the [gemwin] objected appears as if created correctly in the graphical interface.)
Indeed "gemdefaultwindow.pd" is not packaged with Gem 0.94(_pre1> instead there is "gemdefaultwindow-glx.pd"[2], but Pd/Gem still seems to search for it. Any ideas why?
it is packaged fine, but not as a file but as a symlink that is created at installation time, or whenver the admin chooses to enable a different default window using the "update-alternatives" mechanism. so on most Debian machines, you will have a "gemdefault.pd" symlink that points to "gemdefaultwindow-glx.pd"
i am not surprised, that a simple repackaging tool does not catch this.
The Gem 0.93.3 package, however, does have gemdefaultwindow.pd, which
do not fuddle wit 0.93.3; even less so with binaries from this release! (seriously)
