ALMOST THERE! THANKS ALL...but I am still getting a load error in pd...

/home/cgraham/installs/Pd-0.39.3-extended /Gem/src/Gem.pd_linux: /home/cgraham/installs/Pd-0.39.3-extended/Gem/src/Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: glUniform2i Gem: can't load library

this is really a known issue, though it is not in the "KNOWN ISSUES" section.

basically it means that your gfx-driver does not support openGL-2.0. either try upgrading your driver or downgrading Gem. (Gem is a bit optimistic about which openGL-version is expects)

for the former read the documentation of your driver. for the latter, try one of these:

• configure Gem with "./configure --with-glversion=1.5"
• delete source-files containing calls to "glUniform..." from the

Gem-sources and recompile: offending files are . Manips/glsl_*.cpp . openGL/GEMglUniform1fARB.cp

• google for "glUniform2i Gem"...
• convince somebody that they should finally code the glew-support

(runtime check of openGL-functionality)

so I read this....

KNOWN ISSUES

-fPIC:

so I am running an AMD64 should I be concerned with this issue?

no, this only affects you, when you cannot _link_ Gem. since you are already a step further (not being able to _load_ a compiled/linked Gem), the build-system has taken care of this hurdle for you.
