Ok, I4m trying to be specific.
Ok thanks! <g> It REALLY helps!
First of all, I am not using Redhat, so the rpm4s are not tested, and somebody else already reported the failing dependency.
What are you using? One of the main reasons I installed Linux was to
try pd. I don't really care what distribution I use, although RedHat *is* downloaded and installed and working nicely on my system.
Would I have a simular problem with the .tar.gz package? I've managed
to get a few of those installed.
rpm -i --nodeps pd_0.23-5.rpm
you should be able to use pd.
tried that.. it installs the rpm, but if queried via rpm -qlp xxxx.rpm it replies that pdxxxxx.rpm is not installed.
If I try to start pd anyways I get:
Pd version 0.23 compiled Sun Oct 18 21:18:41 CEST 1998 port 5400 TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/tcl/library TK_LIBRARY=/usr/tk/library /usr/bin/pd-gui 5400 /usr/bin/pd-gui: error in loading shared libraries libtk8.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
If that doesn4t work, you can compile pd yourself, which is a little bit more complicated for a newbie.
I'd give it a shot??
But just try that now, and report any failures (or success).
Could I not just find those libraries and install them? Or is that just as complicated as a re-compile?
When I try to install pd via the .rpm file I get these failed dependencies:
libtc8.0.so.1 is needed by pd-0.23-5 libtk8.0.so.1 is needed by pd-0.23-5
