Hi Iohannes,

do the problems go away when you _not_ load Gem?

Yes, as far as I can tell, they go away.

darn

darn indeed

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

so did you compile Gem yourself or are you using a pre-compiled binary?

I compiled it myself

(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?

hmm, just in order to get it right: you installed Pd and Gem and everything worked fine; then you installed mplayer and updated some libraries; then the old binaries of pd/Gem started to crash.

YES

this sounds very much like an ABI problem to me.

what does ABI mean? I'm pretty sure it's not any of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABI...

(you'll excuse my ignorance in this and some of what follows...)

since Gem uses some of the libraries you upgraded (libquicktime, libmpeg3, FFMPEG(!)), it is a good idea to re-link Gem to this libraries.

well, when i run ./configure in GEM, it tells me:

use mpeg-3 : yes

use quicktime : yes

use ffmpeg : yes

So doesn't this imply they are linked? I didn't have this libraries on this computer before, so they are brand new.

this is especially true for FFMPEG which ha a policy of not maintaining compatibility to older releases.
it is recommended to build Gem without ffmpeg support (unless you know what you are doing and you really need it) .... though i think it won't compile with recent ffmpeg anyhow :-)

Actually, I could do without it, but I don't know how to get rid of it... is there a nice command like uninstall ffmpeg? I installed it via-yum with freshrpms or a similar repo... I imagine i could do without mpeg3 to.

to read mp4s i just need quicktime right?

Should I download and compile the latest versions of gem and Pd and see?

just re-compiling Gem should be sufficient.

Ok, so I got his errors:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/joliverl/Desktop/Gem/src/Pixes'

so there seems to be problems both with mpeg3 and ffmpeg, is this what you mean by linking them?
