hi i'm trying to get pd running on a linux.2.4.20. no complains during compiling, also the installation was succesfull, at least there was no error.

but if i start pd it hangs before starting the interface, there is no error it just falls asleep. every help will be mentally rewarded (karma +1) regards marc

ps: there are problems with midi, because my laptop has no midi.
