Hi Marc,
there were long-standing issues with PD on 64bit that prevented the correct reading/writing of tables (including soundfiler-loaded ones). I don't know if these were ever resolved. In the end I ran PD under 32bit emulation on my AMD64 laptop (before I sold the damned hairdryer!). You might check the archives for posts by "thewade", who was working on this problem more than anyone else and may know a bit more.
best, d.

hi list
i experience a strange behavior of pd saving wavetables. i am working on ubuntu edgy amd64, pd is compiled from CVS a week ago.
if i draw a wavetable and save my patch, the result is completely distorted when i reopen the patch. like some random sinus curves. i do not compute audio and it's the only wavetabele in the patch. i have pd installed on debian on a different machine, which is not 64bit and there i do not experience this behavior.
what could this be?
best marc
