i put the gem.dll file in the object folder (like with windows) but it doen't seem 2 be d case 4 linux.

objects which are compiled for windows (xx.dll) are not compatible to objects compiled for linux (xx.pd_linux).

the linux port of gem is mantained by guenther geiger, you can download it at

ftp://xdv.org/pub/gige/gem

depending on your distribution, you might need to compile it yourself.

and is there somewhere instructions on how 2 setup midi for linux?

if you happen to own a soundblaster live! you are out of luck: pd does not support midi under linux (it does under win)

any other cards working under linux shall work for pd as well.

be sure to read the pd documentation by Miller Puckette,
