Hi all,
Some of you may recall I had some trouble getting PD to compile (those of you who took the time to look over my config.log and make output, thanks! ) on a new Slackware 9.0 install.
Thankfully, the problem is finally resolved. What I've found is that PD does not like the latest Tcl/Tk (8.4.2). If your distro comes with this version of Tcl/Tk (I'd wager most of the new distros do), don't install the prepackaged Tcl/Tk and instead grab a source copy of the previous version (8.3.5) and compile it yourself. PD now compiles without a hitch.
I'm wondering, btw, if this is a known problem and if the PD programmers are looking into it - anyone know?
take care,

I knew that there are problems with 8.4, but I haven't looked into it because my distribution comes with both (8.3 and 8.4).
Of course, if there are distributions that come with 8.4 only someone has to take a look.

Hi all,
I'm about to try to put out a preliminary Pd 0.37, in which, for other reasons than TK trouble, the "glist_findrtext" crashes might come less frequently. The only machine I'm using that has TK 8.4 is a macintosh... I'll see if I can get it to crash there tomorrow and if all looks good I'll release it then.
cheers Miller
