Hello PD list, A week ago I wrote about pd not finding libtcl.so.0 or libtk.so.0 Well pd still can not find these libraries, but I have managed to find them in my usr/lib folder. This makes me think that the pd rpm needs to be in a specific location inorder to find these libs. Does any one know what directory the pd.rpm file should be placed in for a linux installation of the program? Also the libtcl.so file is missing the last 0 do you think that should make a difference?

I am on redhat 9 incase you need to know this inorder to answer my question.

Is there anything else that I need to do to the rpm besides double clicking on it to get it to install correctly?

Would trying the tar.gz be any easier?

I got simular trouble in the preparation for my pd workshop I gave at Access Space in 2002 with the Mandrake distribution, which is a RedHat derivat. We get around with symlinking these libs, look here:
