hello, ...today i go back to an one-year-old-thread. for some reasons, i had to go back to an old project and i remembered my problems i had there, while installing pd-extended and vanilla beside of each other, for using "pdsend" but still keeping the extended-version. now, one year later, i'm on ubuntu-10.10: pd-extended 0.42.5 is already installed... than i install vanilla with: $ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends puredata et voila: <<pdsend>> i just wanted to say -thank you- for solving this- and for making it so easy for no-nerds to work with pd ^_^ greetings christian --------------------- Christian Heck quenotte at gmx.de Mon May 24 23:17:45 CEST 2010 > please install "puredata", then manually uninstall "gem", then install > pd-extended. > should work. > ... i tried now 2 different ways: first: i installed puredata with "sudo aptitude install -R" so gem is not installed with, automaticly (thats great!) second: i installed puredata normally with aptitude and after removed it manually but always if i try after to install pd-extended it is still the same conflict and i cannot install it even if i try : sudo dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure Pd-0.42.5-extended-ubuntu-karmic-i386.deb (i tried it with the nightly-build from today) if i do it the other way around so first install pd-extended and than puredata he wants to remove this libs too: freeglut3{u} libavifile-0.7c2{u} libflite1{u} libftgl2{u} libimlib2{u} libmagick++2{u} pd-extended{a} tcllib{u} do you think this have something to do with the conflict on my system? i always ask myself if it is maybe because of my ubuntu karmic?.....
