Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Sorry, there was a typo in my initial message, it should say "there
is
no i686 package available".
When I tried to install the Jaunty package I got a "wrong kernel
type"
error. All the packages seem to be for i386 and lpia, while my
machine
is running i686. The only mention of an i686 version that I have
found
is for Karmic in the 02-10-10 nightly build (and it seems rather
small
at 5.1M).
When I tried adding adding to sources.list and installing via
apt-get
I received the following error: "Failed to fetch
http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/jaunty/main/binary-amd64/Packages
404 Not Found"
Anyway, I ended up installing pd vanilla, gem, and zexy seperately
and
adding the appropriate paths in the file > startup menu. Everything is working just fine now.

Hello Ben,
I am on amd64 too, and my best recommendation is that you use the
i386
version. At the moment it is just faster and more stable than 64-bit builds. To set up an i386 package on your 64-bit Jaunty and satisfy all the 32-bit dependecies you'll most likely want to use getlibs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790
Thanks Andras, that sounds like just what I need. I'll give it a shot this weekend after I fix a botched dist-upgrade.

I just noticed there are more specifics at http://puredata.info/docs/developer/64BitLinux/ under "Method 2" (...you didn't mistakenly upgrade to Karmic did u? ;o) My girlfriend did that on her laptop and err... not so good! Been told however that it is
less
bad with the RT kernel - a thing missing from Jaunty.) Andras
In fact.. that's exactly what happened (dist-upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic). The sad thing is that this is the second machine I've tried the upgrade on, and the second to fail. I was prepared this time, backed everything up prior to the attempt, so it's more of an annoyance than anything.

Ok, so I am now attempting to install pd-extended on a fresh 64-bit 9.10 Karmic Ubuntu desktop. The "Method 2" instructions on http://puredata.info/docs/developer/64BitLinux/ seem to work fine until I have to install libgomp.so.l
It seems to install using "sudo getlibs -l libgomp.so.l" just like all the ones before it, but then when I open pd-extended I still receive the following error:
/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem/Gem.pd_linux: libgomp.so.l: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gem: can't load library
Gem appears to be the only library that won't load, unfortunately it is the one I care the most about.

Hmm. My best bet is that the whole (i386) package needs to be installed, which is called libgomp1. The is an util called apt-file which helps you find which package contains a specific file - not sure this solves the problem, though. Also, getlibs seems to always do the "install? Y/n?" even when it doesn't install anything at the end.
