I had a feeling my problems were Windows-related (see previous post) so I'm trying to get this new computer to work with Pd and Ubuntu:

Ubuntu Lucid, ATI Radeon HD7770. The driver is installed, and I just compiled Gem from scratch against Pd-extended-0.42.5.

I get:

error: GEM: Unable to create single buffer window

error: GEM: Error creating const context

error: GEM: A serious error occured creating const Context

error: GEM: Continue at your own risk!

error: GEM: Unable to create double buffer window

error: GEM: Unable to create window

error: [gemwin]: no window made

... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu.

error: GEM: Create window first!

...when I try to create a Gem window.

Looking at a previous post in the archive, setting the environment variable GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT to 1 does not change this. I'm stuck! GL screensavers are working correctly...

perplexed,

Ed
