Hi, friends of electronic amusement,
I have two (minor) problems getting externals to properly work: I can't get 'knob' working at all. When I use the version that comes with the pd-externals package (Debian, btw) it crashes pd immediately; using the one that comes with Frank Barknecht's pd303-patch gives:
/usr/lib/pd/extra/knob.pd_linux: undefined symbol: iemgui_list knob ... couldn't create
I guess something's missing (iemlib?)
Second (even smaller) problem I have with 'pianoroll' and 'grid' from Yves Degoyon: they DO work, but I cant access the properties-dialog (right mouse-button, as the help-file says). [Using the pd-unauthorized package from Pablo Caedes]. ?? Both have been tested with same results in pd-0.37 (from Agnula) and the actual 0.38 from Debian unstable on two different machines (both Debian).
I start pd with: pd -lib zexy -lib Gem -rt -jack
