Thanks Julian !
Yes you can 'apt-get', that vanilla's well fresh. You want puredata-core, that's fine. Pretty sure all the iem stuff is in the repo's.
well, $ sudo apt-get install pd-iemlib (as I remember reading somewhere) doesn't work for me I downloaded it from sourceforge and tried to build it from source but many objects do not work, like [any] or [prepend]
You've already built Pd from source, good work, couple of externals should be no problem:)
yes, but I'm a bit confused. the pd i built from source is in /usr/local/lib/pd and when i "apt-get install puredata-extra" to get [sigmund~], in fact it installed it in /usr/lib/puredata took me a couple of hours to find that...
Finding out what objects come from which library can be a pain.
There's a webpage I just spotted that might be helpful http://blazicek.net/list_of_pure_data_objects.html.
yes, thanks, the list of pd objects and which library they're from does help a lot ! that also makes clear that naming isn't always clear : "was I using using [avg~] from zexy or cyclone ? Ah yes, the first one doesn't want a bang so i used cyclone's [avg~] "
I'll continue my journey into linux-happy-shell-addict-world...
