does anyone happen to know what exactly IN the patch is making pd crash? has anyone tried fixing it by editing the help patch as a text file?
Replace the existing [plugin~] help patch with one posted by Frank Barknecht some years ago. For the five thousandth time in several years, can someone with CVS write access *please* just change this friggin' thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[plugin~] requires the path to your LADSPA directory to be set as
the LADSPA_PATH in the environment. Look up "setting environmental variables" plus either "bash" or "shell" on Google to see how this is done if you don't know how.
is this done instead of creating a path to the LADSPA plugs dir in pd? or does it have to be done in addition to a pd path?
This is done in bash and not at all in Pd.
If you use the terminal command "listplugins",
you should point out in the FOSS manual that one needs to have the ladspa-sdk installed to use this command
Thanks. Of course, you could create a FLOSS Manuals login and add this piece of info yourself ;-) I may not get around to it...
Best! D.
