Hi IOhannes,
Thank you for your suggestion. I will recompile the external to use .pd_linux then. I will upload ofelia v1.0.5 within this week which will have the fix.
Best wishes Zack
i also noticed that the official ofelia externals use the "l_ia64" extension for Linux/amd64.
i am *very* sure that this is the wrong extension. "ia64" is the the short name of the "Itanium" architecture ([ia64]), an architecture used mainly for servers. it is *incompatible* with the x86_64 aka amd64 instruction set (which is the CPU that is built in practically all PCs and Apple computers these days) those processors are built by intel, which probably has caused the confusion.
there's [PR297] which tries to fix this by using arch-specific extensions that actually match the canonical names for CPU architectures (or at least wide-spread variants thereof).
i'd suggest to avoid this extension and instead use the generic "pd_linux".
