Hi all.

I'm trying to install aubio on ubuntu 13.10.

I used the apt-get instructions here: http://aubio.org/download

.....but putting an 'aubionotes~' object results in a " aubionotes~ ... couldn't create" in the logs.

What am I doing wrong?

you did install the "pd-aubio" package as well, did you?

once you did that, you will have to load the "aubio" library - and you must do so before being able to create *any* of the aubio objects. you can do so by either

• creating an object [aubio]
• adding "aubio" to the list of loaded libraries

(file->preferences->startup)

• adding "-lib aubio" to the startup flags of Pd (e.g. when running from

the cmdline).

you can also add a [declare -lib aubio] to your patch using the aubio-objects, but this will only take effect the next time the patch is loaded.

also please note, that there is a new upstream for aubio after a few years: the website, and packages in debian(>=jessie) and ubuntu(>=trusty) are all about aubio-0.4 - whereas older distros (like ubuntu-13.10) only have aubio-0.3.2. you should check the documentation of the package installed, whether the object in question exists (checking [1] indicates that it does not exist for this package)
