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--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"

"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)

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.

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