So I untar this gz file and cd to the src directory. I follow the instructions, and pd installs to /home/chuckk/pd-0.40.0-2.
Which .gz file is this? I've never seen a pd-tgz install to the home directory unless you specificially configured it this way. Default install target is "/usr/local/" Or did you miss the final "make instalL" step after compiling?
Hi. http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Software/pd-0.40-2.src.tar.gz I think it was just that I was running "make" as a normal user, one of the possibilities in the INSTALL.txt. I did make install as root, and it's in /usr/local now.
hi.
"make" (without "install") only changes/updates/creates files in the your local copy of pd; "make install" copies some files into /usr/local/; or /usr; or somewhere else where everybody can find it.
when running "make install" as a normal user, the installation most likely fails; but you will still be able to use the local pd-executables (created by "make"); after all "make install" basically mirrors your local pd-dir (and omits some unnecessary things like source-code).
Sometimes I think I should have spent some time in a monastery before installing Linux. I'd flip out a little less.
are you possibly suggesting, that normal users should be able to install (and overwrite) software into /usr/local/ without having to acquire special permissions? good luck.
i wouldn't want any user to be able to put an "xterm" executable with a built-in keylogger into /usr/local/bin. i also would hate to delete my harddisk because my "make clean" target had a typo.
