Subject: Re: [PD] vanilla, extended, svn and x86_64
Hi all,

I'm new in this community. I helped a little bit to organize the PDCon 09 in São Paulo, and Iḿ getting more involved with Pd since.

This is just to say that I've installed 64bit Ubuntu two months ago, because I have a 64 Turion Acer notebook.

Nothing worked properly, so I've changed to 32bit version and everything seems fine up to now. But the 64 version is very unstable, and for my personal experience I really do not recommend...

best for all

I'd second this experience.  After spending about 2 weeks in Ubuntu 64 bit (which did seem faster) and wrangling with pd (http://puredata.info/docs/developer/BuildingPdExtended64bitUbuntuIntrepid) I ended up reinstalling with 32 bit.

I had some shows to get ready for and I just didn't have time to debug 64 bit ...

Interesting enough, I recently bought a macbook pro and pd-extended seems to run fine in 10.6, although I'm sure it's running in 32 bit compatibility mode.
