those *are* the things i tried...


>download and install pd-extended (which contains both, pd and gem
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pure-data/Pd-0.39.3-extended-planetccrma6-i386.tar.bz2
this was what I tried to do first.

basically this required that I go to planet CCRMA rebuild my kernal, also get jack,
once i did that i tried to run the binaries and got the "floating point error", pd didnt run at all

so i decided to get the extended version source code and build that...

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pure-data/Pd-0.39.3-extended.tar.bz2

it built with th following installs added
yum install autoconf
yum install tcl
yum install tk
yum install tcl-devel
yum install tk-devel

well that got pd running, but gem is failing. so did the extended source build gem or not? are more devel packages required that I missed?

>download the gem binaries from the gem site
the only site I know of is http://gem.iem.at/ is this what you are talking about? I dont not see *gem binaries for linux* on windows, in fact they recommend on the site building gem, but its my understanding that this comes with pd extended, which I built, and which is not loading the gem libs.

so i have now tried to build gem and it fails during configure because it *seems* to not know how to build using gcc...wierd. who uses g++, i dont even know how to get it.

[root@aalto src]# autoconf configure.ac>configure
[root@aalto src]# chmod 777 configure
[root@aalto src]# ./configure
checking for Base/configLinux.h.in... yes
checking for g++... no
checking for c++... no
checking for gpp... no
checking for aCC... no
checking for CC... no
checking for cxx... no
checking for cc++... no
checking for cl... no
checking for FCC... no
checking for KCC... no
checking for RCC... no
checking for xlC_r... no
checking for xlC... no
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

this is driving me a little crazy.

gem is an external and not part of pd.

this has nothing to do with linux. Gem is an extension, that provides
additional funcionality to pd, which isn't in the focus of puredata
itself. this is completely unrelated to the operating system. in fact,
there are many ways to get Gem without having to build it.

- download the gem binaries from the gem site
- install a gem-package from your distro (i know that debian based
distros include gem)
- download and install pd-extended (which contains both, pd and gem, and
a lot of other externals)

just in case you decide to build gem yourself, don't forget to install
also the dev-package for each dependecy.
