[nbx] is new in pd 0.35 so i assume that shabby requires that version of pd.

Hi Frank,
What version of pd have you been developing shabby~ on? I tried it with pd-0.34.2 and it seems the help patch doesn't load - it can't create objects like "nbx".
However it could be some strange gcc version problem. Rather than installing gcc 3.x, I built both flext and shabby~ with the Redhat gcc 2.96 after changing the makefiles to disable optimization (-O0). This is under of the assumption that the reason gcc 3.x is recommended is because of the optimization bugs in the earlier gcc. But I could be wrong, and I will soon go ahead and install gcc 3.x.
A question about the install paths: I'm sorry to have not followed this discussion, and I guess I will have to look in the list archives. Has some decision been reached on a standard for pd paths? I ask this because until now I have no /usr/lib/pd/extra directory. Most things I install in /usr/local/pd/externs/* .
Finally, a question about what shabby~ does (realizing that if I had it running, I might not need to ask): I surmize that shabby~ mixes together the results of waveshaping synthesis on a number of polynomials, and that each inlet is the amplitude of an x-axis sine wave that is used for lookup in the respective polynomial. But what I am confused about is the harmonic content of each of these polynomials (which of course depends on the amplitude of the driving sine wave, i.e. with waveshaping, the harmonic content is richer with higher driving amplitudes). Can you maybe clarify my muddled mind?

Larry
