do the problems go away when you _not_ load Gem?
Yes, as far as I can tell, they go away.
has Gem been compiled against the correct version of Pd?
I don't know, I can't remember when was the last time I downloaded this version of GEM, it only says:
ver: 0.91-cvs
(m_pd.h used for compilation of Gem belongs to Pd-binary used)
it seems like i missed the version of Pd you are trying to use.
My pd version is pd-0.41-4, the thing is that it was working properly before i installed all the new libraries and mplayer. That is, the gem and pd versions were the same before and they worked fine together... is this relevant?
Should I download and compile the latest versions of gem and Pd and see?
oh, and your machine is x86_64, correct?
correct.
cheers,
