Hi IOhannes,
I was referring to the message that comes with this version of Pd-X.
From the console: *WARNING: 64-bit builds are still beta, some libraries
are known to have serious issues (cyclone, maxlib, moonlib, moocow, pdp, bsaylor, etc.) For more info, see the README.txt in '64-bit-warning-plugin' in the Help Browser*
Thanks for your help I followed your instructions and found that I have both gem_imageTIFF.so and gem_imageMAGICK.so so I disabled gem_imageTIFF.so and now Pd no longer crashes however "GEM: Unable to save image..." with [pix_write]. I tried [pix_writer] but it doesn't respond to a [file <name>( or a [bang( and there is no help that I can find. Would you mind explaining how to use [pix_writer] please. Then if I can get it working I'd be happy to write a help patch for it.
cheers

Hi all,
No matter what I try I can't get [pix_write] to do much more than create corrupted .tiffs that won't open or just crash Pd. Looks like it's
missing
gem.conf?

Running Pd Extended 0.43.4 64 bit on Ubuntu 14.04.
I know the 64 bit is buggy
why? what? what exactly are you referring to with "the 64th bit"? how is it buggy?
but according to my searching [pix_write] has had issues for a while?
if it does has issues with PdX-0.43.3 then it will have these issues forever. i don't think anybody will make a bugfix version of this PdX release ever...rather a new shiny PdX-0.45.6 might come out...
in any case:
- [pix_write] is deprecated in favour of [pix_writer] (which takes the
incoming PIX to write, rather than creating a snapshot of the current framebuffer). the deprecation happened because [pix_write] is flawed by design rather than any bugs.
- which imageplugins are you using? search for files called
"gem_image*.so" in your extra/Gem/ folder. if you have both gem_imageTIFF.so and gem_imageMAGICK.so try disabling one of them (just rename it to something not starting with "gem_" && not ending with ".so, e.g. gem_imageTIFF.so.disabled) and see if it helps; if not try disabling the other one. the MAGICK plugin should be the preferred one.
