G'day, Yes Frank - it looks like P5 has hit PD - I'm glad to have had a 'hand' in it ;-) And can't wait to see where it all goes from here?
Jason, sorry to hear about your difficulties on Linux :-( I'm on Mac OSX and it was pretty much plug and play, once I got the drivers. On the Mac side it is a .kext driver and a commandline app to tell it to send data. Data is sent as an OSC command followed by the data stream. Plugging into PD was simply 'dumpOSC-> OSCroute' and your there. Not sure about the Linux side of things- Ross Bencina and others have P5 to MIDI stuff. Theres a fairly active dev discussion on Yahoo. Check that out. See message from yesterday.
Cheers, Macca.

Haha, the P5d-gang is forming up nicely. ;)

I tried your patch. Its interesting, it seems to autodetect everything, though not perfectly.
Here are some of the patch errors: Error during patching: patching file src/Gnu/configure Hunk #19 FAILED at 3331. 1 out of 20 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/Gnu/configure.rej
I put configure.reg at http://www.aproximation.com/configure.rej
Something I had to change in the configure file (changed from . makeauxlibs, it doesnt makeauxlibs now but the configure script passes this point at least) patch is in /usr/local/src/gem-0.90.0 and gemlibs are /usr/local/src/GemLibs: if test -d $GEMLIBS then . ../../GemLibs/makeauxlibs fi
It doesnt find libpng even though I have it installed: checking for main in -lpng... no checking alternate -lpng in png_set_compression_level... find: png_set_compression_level: No such file or directory configure: error: Build png library somewhere [wade@musicbox Gnu]$ ldconfig -p | grep png libpng12.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0 libpng12.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 libpng12.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libpng12.so ===> libpng.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libpng.so.2 libimlib-png.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libimlib-png.so
I dont know how to fix the problem myself, my fimilarity with configure is lacking. Thanks for the help and the patch!

I, also, was drawn to the p5 glove for pd control purposes...and so I bought one of the cheapies from compugeeks once I saw the amazingly low pricetag. Got it this week. I run Linux (almost exlcusively, Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.6) and have been quite disappointed with the drivers/support so far.
Apparently there are two ways to roll with this thing [in Linux]: binary driver (supplied by Essential Reality) or a 3rd party driver called libp5glove. The latter uses libusb in userspace (which, obviously, would be a preferred angle of attack)...
So far, I've had zero success...even tho I have plenty of other usb devices configured and working perfectly (think scanner, camera, card reader, hard drive, gamepad, etc). The binary driver causes my machine to hard lock, and the userspace one reports an error within libusb. Something about "Invalid Argument" which I straced back to an ioctl call. Wonderful. I tried emailing the author of the libp5glove driver, but the address now bounces. :(
Based on forum postings, the manufacturer of the p5 seems to be in pretty bad shape. It's great that they were willing to put out a Linux driver and SDK...but the current state of affairs looks bleak. If somebody manages to get either driver working with Linux (I've read a few vague success stories), please drop me a line. If I manage to make mine wiggle, I'll try and post results back to the group.
