so what you suggest for a successfull pd installation on a ubuntu machine is to download this: http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/pd-2006-12-04- linux-debian-stable-i386-i686.tar.bz2
reading your email again, i understand it better: the suggestion is
not to install the files tagged with "debian" on an ubuntu system but
to use a special packaging format, which by chance is used by both debian (thats why it is called "debian-package" or ".deb") and ubuntu
(which is really just a polished up debian clone).building debian packages on the autobuild farm would eventually result in having different packages for debian-stable, debian-testing, ubuntu-hoary. (because of the very problem of dependencies)
i hope i could make this somewhat clearer.
thanks IOhannes,
well, honestly i am new to linux and don't even have it on my own
machine (osx) but i am working on a joint pd project with Johannes K.
so.. to give you the complete picture: i actually deleted his windows
partition in an accident while trying to make it dual boot. so he is
stuck now with ubuntu and i am gone to bulgaria. but thanks god he is
very brave and wants to stick with it. actually i think he is
enjoying it so far. we just need to figure out now how to make the pd
externals running on his thinkpad. :)
