wait,
suse 7 comes with libtk8.3.so - seems like pd searches for libtk8.0.so
had to download the older tcl/tk packages from ftp.suse.com to get pd running (the file i found on this machine was only this single file downloaded, suse definitely comes with the newer 8.3 version)
miller: what is the problem with newer versions of tcl/tk ?

Or /etc/ld.so.conf should contain the path - after adding it here you should run ldconfig.

Check your LD_LIBRARY_PATH; it should contain the directory where libtk8.0.so is stored.

hi list
i just installed suse linux 7 on a machine here (intel) and had the following error message when trying to launch pd from the x-console
../bin/pd-gui: error in loading shared libraries: libtk8.0.so:
cannot open
shared object file: no such file or directory
--i searched for this file and it is present on this machine -- i
added
the directory where this file is to the path, i copied it to the bin directory
- but nothing worked
has anyone ideas what the problem is with that file? any environment variable not set?
thanks for your help

Hi Matthias,
I think Pd ought to have worked with TK8.3 with no problem... it's just that the compiled program in teh release looks for 8.0... it should have been possible to replace 8.0 with 8.3 in the makefile and recompile.
However, I don't know how I can release a Pd binary that works on all reasonable linux platforms if the name of the library keeps changing! any ideas??? I may have to start making binary-less releases and make everyone do the ./configure dance, but I'd really like to avoid this.

Funny thing about the tcl/tk guys is, that they change the library name for each minor release. This is bad practice.
I am using a configure script to detect tcl/tk libraries, this could be included into the release for those who have to recompile.

PS: Don't tell me that configure can be a pain too, I know it.
