On Ubuntu, run synaptic, open the repository settings and enable the "Universe" repositories and it'll offer you PD, low-latency kernel and a mess of other cool stuff.

Hello
I have been using Pd on Red Hat 9 / Planet CCRMA for over one year with great satisfaction. Some info, kernel = 2.4.11 low latency, sound card = hdsp multiface, pd version = 0.37.
Recently, for some crash reason I had to make a complete new installation of linux. As I didn't have much time, I used a ubuntu-linux installation cd that someone gave me (hopefully) some days before. Now I have to use Pd again but I can't get it work on this new system.
The first thing I need is to have the (hdsp) sound. I tried to install the latest stable alsa driver but the ./configure script says "unsupported soundcard hdsp", which of course doesn't look normal.
Maybe the best solution for me is to install a low latency kernel that includes a correct alsa driver. Will the planet CCRMA kernel work with ubuntu-linux ? or should I install RH9 again instead ? Are there other kernels for this ? The thing is that I don't have a lot of time to spend on this. I can install another kernel, possibly another linux distribution, like RH9 (I have the CDs) -- but definitely not build an audio-specific gentoo linux, for example.
After I have a low latency alsa kernel, I can install the hdsploader program and everything should work.
Last thing : I currently have pd-0.38 (original version) installed on this machine. When I type "pd -jack", I get a message telling me that this flag doesn't exist. So I tried to install pd-devel_0_38, but ./configures says that there is no Tcl header on my machine, though tcl/tk is clearly installed ...
So if anyone has a quick solution for running Pd as soon as possible, it will be truly appreciated
best regards, -j
