hello list,

i'm trying to install pd on my debian system and i'm having some problems. when i run ./configure in the /src directory, i get a string of error messages, including:

checking for main in -lX11... no checking for main in -lffm... no checking for tcl.h... no checking for tcl8.1/tcl.h... no checking for tcl8.2/tcl.h... no checking for tcl8.3/tcl.h... no checking for tcl8.4/tcl.h... no checking for tcl8.5/tcl.h... no

You need xlibs-dev, tcl8.X-dev and tk8.X-dev. The tcl/tk headers might need a softlink from /usr/include/tcl8.3/tk.h to /usr/include/tk.h, which is and old debian problem noone knows the right answer to. I guess one needs to set up the alternatives system in a specific way, but I don't know how.

You can also install my unofficial pd-0.35-test11 debian package from http://footils.radio-worldwi.de for woody:

Package: pd Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: sound Installed-Size: 3596 Maintainer: FB Version: 0.35.0-test11 Depends: x-terminal-emulator, libasound2 (>= 0.9.0beta10a-1), libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), tcl8.3 (>= 8.3.2), tk8.3 (>= 8.3.0), xlibs (>> 4.1.0) Recommends: gem Description: Realtime Computer Music and Graphics System. A real-time graphical programming environment for audio and graphics analysis and rendering. Pd's audio functions are built-in; graphical computations require a separate package named GEM ("Graphics Environment for Multimedia"). Pd and GEM are available for SGI machines, IBM PC compatibles (running NT or W95) and Linux (PCs or Alpha machines).

Ciao,
