Guenter (et al),
Tried the rpm on my Linux RedHat 5.1 /OSS system...it will not install... the error - a failed dependancy on libtcl/tk 8.0.. is strange, because I know I have them...SO.. it's gotta be the path to the lib in the rpm? I really don't know how file system layout vary between Linux distributions. Whatever,the src compiled ok, but when I try to send MIDI , it dies, without report.. All audio seems fine. I will investigate...could it be ny new window manger (kde) somehow? pd finds /dev/midi ok.. I compiled pd with the standard linux driver code (s_linux.c), not the ALSA driver. What ever, sometime soon I will compile -g and step into pd & see what I see.
