yo!

hi all, a brief summary of my recent escapades in pd and gem on linux:

1: finally got a decent setup running on my redhat 5.1 notebook, also i was able to get running Gem on this machine with the latest gem-0.77, sincfe guenther reorganized the library checking order in configure ... no midi here though, but that i guess got to do with my midisetup generally ..

2: i also installed the evaluatoin version of OSS/Linux (on another machine), the comercial sound driver package, and hey, it operates the soundblaster awe64 in FULLDUPLEX mode, isnt that amazing? i didnt try with any other cards though ...

3: a strange thing with gem appeared on two desktop mnachines, namely, when after successfully compiling gem trying to start "pd -lib $PATH_TO_GEM/Gem", nothing really happens, looks like this:

$ pd -lib /home/opt/pd/gem-0.77/Gem Pd version 0.23 compiled Wed Oct 21 21:26:40 CEST 1998 $

thats all, pd doesnt even start up or anything ..it just exits after these two lines .. any ideas?

jodel, oswald
