hi all, i'm new to this list (and pd) so i thought i'd introduce myself & throw out some general (and more specific) questions i've got... i've been working with max/msp for the past few years, and i've always been curious to check out pd, but haven't had the occasion (or else i'm just lazy ;) basically what has motivated me to take the plunge is an interest in creating a series of patches that will stream audio from a linux server based on user interactivity on a website like i said i'm new to this game, so any hints you all can give me would be great i'm thinking basically i'd use the xml socket library in flash with osc as the glue between flash & pd i've downloaded pd for os x & started going through the documentation, so hopefully i'll be up & running fairly quickly on that end of things in the meantime i'm trying to figure out how to get some sort of a testing environment up on the server as well i got this far in the pd installation process & hit a wall:

so, from what i can tell, it looks like i need to install x86 as mentioned in the pd documentation unfortunately i'm using a virtual private server, so i don't have root
the Xinstall.sh file told me: Checking which OS you're running... uname reports 'Linux' version '2.4.9-e.40', architecture 'i686'. libc version is '6.2.4' (6.2).
Binary distribution name is 'Linux-ix86-glibc22'
so i downloaded everything i needed according to the info at http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.4.0/binaries/Install then when i ran it again, i got: sh: ./Xinstall.sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
i then tried chmod'ing & chown'ing everything to my account, but keep getting the same error message so i'm not sure where that leaves me...
i see that there are compiled versions of pd for mac, irix & windows... but is there one for linux anywhere?
i'm also curious as how i would connect the audio output from a pd patch to a streaming mechanism and whether this is something that is even feasible in a shared environment, or if i would need to have a dedicated machine co-located somewhere any help or guidance anyone out there could give me would be great...
thanks, -mark
