Hi, I have installed pd-extended 0.38.4 on ubuntu feisty. When I tried to open it, it asked for several libraries. So I made several symbolic links to libraries it has asked for, and they appear to be working OK.

But libvos3gcc3.so has got me stumped.

When I try to open pd I get the following error message:

/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libvos3gcc3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have libvos3gcc3.so in /usr/lib/openoffice/program. I have tried:

a/ making a symbolic link from /usr/local/lib/pd/bin to /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libvos3gcc3.so

b/ copying libvos3gcc3.so to /usr/local/lib/pd/bin

Neither worked! *@#%$%!!

Does anyone have any advice on what I can do here?

Thankyou!

i stripped the "zexy" from the subject-line.

Bad news:

BUT - there are some SERIOUS problems with Gem, and the entire patch is now broken!!! I'm trying to understand more of the problems, but what I see right now, is something wrong with pix_buffer, and pix_freeframe, and something with the fonts, in particular. There's an error with rotateXYZ but I don't think that's important. Any suggestions??? This is on WinXp, pd-extended RC 1.

let's have a look.

Here is the output when I first load my patch:

[pix_buffer]: there is a minor annoyance, where [pix_buffer_read] (and [pix_buffer_write]) do a check for an existing [pix_buffer] at creation time (which is a bad time to check, since the corresponding [pix_buffer] might be yet non-existant). usually you can safely ignore this warning. (however, i was not able to detect any other problems from your error logs, which does not mean that there are none).

just to make sure: you DO have a PeteSlide.dll in C:/vid/gem-vj/freeframe/? and Gem has been able to load this dll in previous incarnations?

afaik, Gem for w32 is still just directly pulled from gem.iem.at (instead of compiled on the autobuild farm); this might still be a problem with compiler versions and the like...

this has always been like this: [rotateXYZ] either needs no or exactly 3 arguments; try to find out why your patch gives another number of arguments to this object.

Gem's default font has changed from arial.ttf to vera.ttf for legal reasons. just copy your old C:/vid/gem-vj/over/arial.ttf to C:/vid/gem-vj/over/vera.ttf....

Sounds great! I started to think about how it could be done. One simple start would be to include the list of objects according to function that is found in core-pd. However, I think it would be better to put in in the help menu rather than then right-clicking on the canvas. This would encourage newbies to use the standard pd blocks to start with.

A general function-to-block dictionary is more complicated since there seems to be something like 1000 help files in the doc section... One possibility could be to put a text label in each help file, for example: ;;;pd-extended classification;;;category: audio;function: filter, subfunction: bandpass;;; This is just an example. It could be done in a number of ways e.g. just give keywords. The audio/control classification is of course already evident from the tilde sign.This could be complemented with a short "one-liner": ;;;description: A 2-pole bandpass filter;;;

Then this would be divided in thee tasks:

1. agree on the list of categories and functions
2. label the help files ( I guess that it would be easy for everyone to

do in the CVS?) 3. Implement sorting according to function in the browser. (If the browser search the doc section a new lib would be included automatically.)

The first step can be done on this list or in the pd doc group. The second step can easily be distributed. I could spend some time with it and I think I could mobilize more people at the department as well. The last step depends mostly on hans so it would be great to hear your opinion about it. /Anders

I sometimes forget even the names of the objects that I have written, so I would use the dictionary for sure. So you are not alone in the desire for a dictionary, there is at least two of us ;)

This is a quite extreme viewpoint. Translate that to language learning, for example a German learning English. It implies that using a dictionary from German to English is forbidden and the only available dictionary is from English to German. Then assume that the German guy have some basic understanding of the English language but forgot one word... This is exactly my own case. Maybe I am away from pd for a year (God forbid!). Then most of my fluency will fade away and a dictionary would be extremely helpful. I tend to remember functionality but not the exact block name. Am I alone? We also try to avoid any fancy stuff in the basic tutorials but we use pd-extended ourselfs and we provide ready-made patches using pd-extended that the students can interface to. /Anders
