Jerome,
yes, for some reason unknown to me, you need to put the libflext.so either in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib and then do ldconfig. even if you update your ld.so.conf to recognize the new location of flext (normally /usr/local/lib/pd/flext/), it will not be recognized by the build system. don't know why that is.
and, that shouldn't have anything to do with the crashes you are having.
Other troubles came when I started using it: it works quite well for some time. But at one time it outputs:
readanysf~:: SRC error: SRC_STATE pointer is NULL
In the Pd window.
It does it mainly when I keep on loading files into it.
I have to restart Pd for it to work again.
What can it be?
sounds like a bug.
Is it because of my compilation trick? Is it a problem with flext or [readanysf~] itself? I'm lost...
pretty sure it has to do with readanysf~ itself.
Maybe it's due to conflicts between libraries, I heard this could happen sometimes...
I doubt this.
Does anyone know what it can be and by the way is there another plain soundfile player (I don't need variable speed nor position jump/locate) that outputs playback position in the file?
if you just want to read wav, aif data, then maybe try [readsf~] and add a timer for sussing out the file position.
