Hi !
Ok, I´m trying to be specific. First of all, I am not using Redhat, so the rpm´s are not tested, and somebody else already reported the failing dependency.
One possibility would be to force a install ( there is a command line switch for rpm to do that).
If you try
rpm -i --nodeps pd_0.23-5.rpm
you should be able to use pd.
If that doesn´t work, you can compile pd yourself, which is a little bit more complicated for a newbie.
But just try that now, and report any failures (or success).

When I try to install pd via the .rpm file I get these failed dependencies:
libtc8.0.so.1 is needed by pd-0.23-5 libtk8.0.so.1 is needed by pd-0.23-5
Where can I get these? How can I install them? Please be specific as this is my first day with Linux.
any advice is appreciated.

This message (which my Redhat Linux also had) is strange...
*every* linux distribution ships with libtcl8.0 and libtk8.0,
so it must be that the full path to the libs is different in the
Debian dist. that Guenter uses. The no-deps trick *should* work,
assuming the user will have the lib path appropriate to find
their Tcl/Tk. A src build works, but I have lost MIDI, since the
0.23 re-write.
Miller & Mark: My 5 mins.(would do more, but busy, changing jobs, bleehh...)
in gdb showed my that the port value bundled with every MIDIout request
is null when the notes are sent out,
although pd reports finding and connecting to my /dev/midi.
I'll dive in & see where it's dissappearing sometime. My system:
Redhat5.1 (glibc) / OSS drivers.
Take Care,

Ok thanks! <g> It REALLY helps!

What are you using? One of the main reasons I installed Linux was to
try pd. I don't really care what distribution I use, although RedHat *is* downloaded and installed and working nicely on my system.
Would I have a simular problem with the .tar.gz package? I've managed
to get a few of those installed.
rpm -i --nodeps pd_0.23-5.rpm
you should be able to use pd.
tried that.. it installs the rpm, but if queried via rpm -qlp xxxx.rpm it replies that pdxxxxx.rpm is not installed.
If I try to start pd anyways I get:
Pd version 0.23 compiled Sun Oct 18 21:18:41 CEST 1998 port 5400 TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/tcl/library TK_LIBRARY=/usr/tk/library /usr/bin/pd-gui 5400 /usr/bin/pd-gui: error in loading shared libraries libtk8.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
If that doesn4t work, you can compile pd yourself, which is a little bit more complicated for a newbie.
I'd give it a shot??
But just try that now, and report any failures (or success).
Could I not just find those libraries and install them? Or is that just as complicated as a re-compile?
