the error - a failed dependancy on libtcl/tk 8.0.. is strange, because I know I have them...SO.. it's gotta be the path to the lib in the rpm? I really don't know how file system layout vary between Linux distributions.
Mhmm . what is the output of "ls /usr/lib/libtk*" on your system. At least I have access to a redhat system now and will be able to test it myself. Probably I will be able to make a Gem rpm package too ...
Whatever,the src compiled ok, but when I try to send MIDI , it dies, without report.. All audio seems fine.
Very bad. Think I have to test it thouroughly. You could try 0.23-2, and if that doesn´t die, I have screwed up pd_0.23-4. I couldn´t test MIDI, because I have no MIDI equipment at home (yet).
I compiled pd with the standard linux driver code (s_linux.c), not the ALSA driver.
ALSA support is experimental ...
Thanks for the report Guenter
Guenter (et al) - I tried all recent pd's for MIDI on my RedHat5.1/OSS system: 23-4 seg faults on MIDI out, only 23-4 BUT it seems I lost all MIDI function back at pd 23-1 !
When I diff the x_midi.c, what I see is that 22 -> 23 involved a move from treating MIDI data as ints to treating them as floats. Perhaps somehow this lies at the root of the in-effective midi objects on my system. I will try to look into it more this weekend.
