Hi,
I am not really clear on how one is supposed to compile pd. There are instructions for downloading and unpacking it, and for testing but I am unclear on how to compile pd. I would appreciate if someone could direct me to the proper information.
In /home/schwaahd/pd-0.27/src I did a :
make -f makefile.linux SOUNDDRIVER=ALSA
This made a : pd and pd-gui show up in ~/pd-0.27/bin
I can get pd to sort of turn but it can't seem to find the pd-gui. I feel like I am missing some thing basic but fundamental. I am new to Linux and PD so sorry if this is a really dumb question.
Thank You -Darwin

This is correct, though there should be a symbolic link from makefile -> makefile.linux, making it possible to edit the makefile and then type make.

Then everything compiled correctly.

The problem is that PD is trying to guess about the layout of your files by grabbing the current working directory. I assume that you added pd/bin to your path and then typed pd? If so, this can be solved by starting pd from the pd/bin directory or installing pd in a different way - by putting pd in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin and putting everything else in /usr/lib/pd and /usr/local/lib/pd respectively. I think make install will do this for you but I have not tested it.

One note - ALSA native support for .5.6 is only available in pd .30 and must be explicity enable by starting pd with the -alsa flag. Hope this helps.

I recently downloaded and built (without problems) pd 0.30, on my RH 6.0 system, which is currently running jMax. PD reports that it cannot find 'localhost', and queries if INET is unstalled. Well, from the startup messages, it is (And I can run Netscape, etc, with no problems). My hostname is not 'localhost' but IGOR, and that is what jMax knows about. Changing to 'localhost' gives jmax problems, but still does not get pd to run. Must be something simple, but I would appreciate being told what it is! I want to keep IGOR, as 'localhost' is soooo boring. 'localhost' never composed anything of note....

You should test two things:
- run 'nslookup localhost' - this should return 127.0.0.1.
- run /sbin/ifconfig - this should show all network interfaces and
needs to include lo. This is the loopback interface and is used for communication between 'localhost' and 'localhost'.
If lo doesn't exist you should add it (redhat should have some docs on doing this). If lo does exist and nslookup fails you may need to add localhost to /etc/hosts. Also, you should probably verify that nsswitch.conf is set to look at files first and then dns (there should be man pages on all of this if you need help). It should be no problem to have a IGOR as your hostname. All unix boxes normally can be referred to as hostname and localhost when running processes locally.
