Please, if somebody can help me get Gem going on ubuntu Breezy or point me to an existing binary that works, I'd really appreciate it. when I compile, make a deb, try to install from the CVS, the deb file is created fine. When I dpkg it:
john@Dell-D600:~/Desktop/installs/Gem/cvs$ sudo dpkg -i gem_0.90.cvs14122005-1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 112012 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace gem 0.90.cvs14122005-1 (using gem_0.90.cvs14122005-1_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement gem ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gem: gem depends on libmagick++9c2a | libmagick++6; however: Package libmagick++9c2a is not installed. Package libmagick++6 is not installed. gem depends on libavifile-0.7c2; however: Package libavifile-0.7c2 is not installed. dpkg: error processing gem (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: gem
I cannot locate these packages for Breezy. The packages I am finding and are already installed: libmagick6, libmagick++6c2, libmagick++6-dev and libmagick6-dev. libavifile-0.7, libavifile-0.7-dev
If I try to run Pd with Gem anyway, I get the error I already mention below.

did what you said. Installed the libxxf86vm-dev library. Built from the CVS sources. Now Pd tells me:
undefined symbol: glUniform4iARB

Trying to get GEM to work with ubuntu Breezy...
From the binary Gem from the Breezy repo I get from Pd:
/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem.pd_linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: vorbis_info_clear Gem: can't load library
I downloaded the Source from sourceforge and compiled. Now with the new Gem.pd_linux I get from Pd:
/home/john/Desktop/installs/Gem/gem-0.90.0/src/Gnu/Gem.pd_linux: /home/john/Desktop/installs/Gem/gem-0.90.0/src/Gnu/Gem.pd_linux:
did you get the release-sources? get the CVS-HEAD instead (a lot of bugfixes, esp. with the build-system - in theory you should even be able to build a debian-package with this command: "cd gem-CVS/; dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot"
undefined symbol: XF86VidModeSetViewPort Gem: can't load library
you need libxxf86vm-dev installed
Gem's configure checks for the existance of this package, but does not refuse to compile if it is missing; this is due to the fact, that with earlier versions of X (probably just with XFreee86, but i cannot remember exactly - ask a packager) libxxf86vm-dev was part of Xlibs-dev (so it was there anyhow)
as for the vorbis_info_clear error i would file a bugreport at ubuntu (that's the drawback when you (like the ubuntu-team) take packages from debian's unstable branch and just release it without further research)
