Hi list, I have problems instaling GEM, I hope somebody is willing to point me in the right direction. Here is what I did.
I installed Pd 0.48.1 with the terminal
*sudo apt-get install puredata*
That worked fine, I am on Xubuntu 18. Typing in terminal:
*lsb_release -a *
gives:
*No LSB modules are available.*
*Distributor ID: Ubuntu*
*Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS*
*Release: 18.04*
*Codename: bionic*
My processor info, typing in terminal:
*lscpu*
I get:
*Architecture: x86_64*
*CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit*
*Byte Order: Little Endian*
*CPU(s): 2*
*On-line CPU(s) list: 0,1*
*Thread(s) per core: 1*
*Core(s) per socket: 2*
*Socket(s): 1*
*NUMA node(s): 1*
*Vendor ID: AuthenticAMD*
*CPU family: 21*
*Model: 112*
*Model name: AMD A6-9225 RADEON R4, 5 COMPUTE CORES 2C+3G*
So I assume it is an AMD type.
Then I wanted to install the GEM graphical environment with dekken.
Typing *gem *in the dekken window gives many choices. To figure out which one to install I look for the processor type and OS type. So in my case I first tried with version 5.0, that did not work, here is the error:
*Commencing downloading of:*
*http://puredata.info/downloads/deken/releases/0.5.0/deken-plugin-v0.5.0--ext... http://puredata.info/downloads/deken/releases/0.5.0/deken-plugin-v0.5.0--externals.zip*
*Into /home/mick/Documents/Pd/externals...*
*Successfully unzipped deken-plugin-v0.5.0--externals.zip into /home/mick/Documents/Pd/externals.*
*Unable to add %s to search paths*
Then I exit the process and got these details in the error message:
*invalid command name ".externals_searchui.results"*
*invalid command name ".externals_searchui.results"*
*while executing*
*"$mytoplevelref.results delete 1.0 end"*
*(procedure "::deken::clearpost" line 3)*

*"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"*
*(procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 22)*
*invoked from within*
*"tk::ButtonUp .externals_searchui.searchbit.button"*
*(command bound to event)*
Then tried this version:
*deken-plugin/0.3.1 (Deken externals downloader - MINIMUM VERSION REQUIRED FOR NEW PACKAGES)*
- Uploaded by zmoelnig @ 2018-04-05 12:00:26*
and I got the same result. Then I tried:
*Gem-v0.0.extended-(Linux-i386-32)(Linux-amd64-64)-externals.tar.gz*
- Uploaded by chr15m @ 2015-08-07 14:36:01*
it did not give errors so I assumed it installed correctly but when I open the object gemwin it gives me lots of errors, like:
*gemglutwindow*
*... couldn't create*
*GLdefine GL_LINEAR*
*... couldn't create*
*GLdefine GL_EXP*
*... couldn't create*
…
After that, when I typed gem in dekken I get 3 other options, the one that I have “installed” (?) and two that were not there before.
*tofv0.2.2(Sources).dek*

What should I try next? Thanks for your patience and generosity. Mick
