If it is working on someones'12.04 I'd gladly know!
If you happen to run Ubuntu 12.04 and want to test [readanysf~], I might be able to help out.
[readanysf~] compiles pretty well, if you have the good library and modify the make file following your instructions: http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg52180.html
It's been a while since I pushed any code to the Puredata repository. Are we using SVN still or have we moved to GIT?
Let me know and I'll commit the above makefile changes.
