Hi, I have an old C.H.I.P. computer (first single board computer under 10$ ever released). I never used it much but now I wanna try it for a project.

Turns out they went bankrupted last year, how fun... so I'm stuck without updates and the debian operating system on it only gives me terribly old Pd 0.46-2 from apt-get. I don't wanna bother with compiling the new source, I can't even compile my own library on it, and my first attempt to compiled Pd failed, so I just wanna go for something simpler.

This is an armv7 just like a raspberry. My externals that I compiled on a virtual machine for an armv7 target work just fine on it. So I think Pd compiled for raspberry pi will work just fine as well. Miller has a Pd-0.48-1 for raspberry here: http://msp.ucsd.edu/Software/pd-0.48-1.rpi.tar.gz - this seems good enough for me right now.

Now, I'm quite clueless on Linux as you can see, and I just need to know what do I do after I download this... I have it on my desktop and I can't run Pd yet... I tried running from ./bin and nothing happened.

So:

1. what do I have to do?
2. Why not a new 0.49 for raspberry as well, huh? :)

cheers
