I had several topics about compiling pd-ext (latest night build) on my
686
desktop:
- is it possible to add a line to INSTALL.TXT saying that ubuntu users
must
install tcl/tk-dev, and *not just* tcl/tk? That saves time and pacience
from
checking the list. (same applies also to pd van)
Well, that applies to *every* software that you compile on your own: You always need the -dev or -devel packages (Fedora) installed.
Now I know about it. I'm just saying that for anyone new, the same will happen again.
- it would be also good that this file indicates which tcl/tk version is
suitable to use with pd. I assumed the most actual version would be good,
so
I installed tcl/tk 8.5. Although it did build etc, when I try to run pd
it
complains that
/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which I guess it means that tcl/tk 8.4 is necessary
Here Pd runs just fine with 8.5. Are you sure that version is the version you have just compiled and not an older version lying around? Check with "ls -l".
I have no other versions around, this system is quite new. I just downloaded the night build from 05-01.
