Hi Jim,
I dont have a very clear log of what i did. But mainly I compiled pd and Gem from git, fetching all dependencies in pd's INSTALL.txt instructions and (I think) Gem's dependencies from either a debian package or looking into old puredata.info entries on Gem's dependencies. I dont remember id there is a Gem package already. There is no need for compiling Pd, but I think you need to compile Gem. Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong!
Cheers,
Fede

Frederico, I'm curious if you just installed PD via a repository on the Pi3 or downloaded a special version of PD compiled for the Pi. Did you install Gem separately or use a version that came bundled with the PD you used ? Thanks, Jim
Hello,
I have tried Gem on the Pi3 and it works. I did not try Gem *completely* because I had no time, but did not encounter major issues other than video capture. I could not use video capture since it overworked the CPU. However, accessing the video feed with openCV (not through Gem) gave *very* reasonable CPU usage (while doing Face Tracking, for example). I am not sure why I encountered such a difference, but I just couldn't use Gem for *that*.
Cheers,
Fede

i think this is the wrong question.
Gem on the rpi is kind of limited as it (Gem) depends on openGL and the rpi provides openGL-ES (though there *are* experimental (still?) drivers for openGL as well). this is quite independent of purr data, pd-vanilla or whatever.
