So far I have used only the libraries, that are included in the pd-extended, but this morning many hours ago I decided to try how to make the ANN (artificial neural networks) library work in PD.

I had some initial problems and asked help from Davide Morelli, the cool developer of ANN, who replied me quickly. He told me to use the source files of ANN and compile them. In order to get those files I would need CVS... things are getting more complicated you see :)

So I downloaded and installed the tortoisecvs ( http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ ) and tried to check out (cvs slang for downloading) the ANN sources with the following settings: http://www.tml.tkk.fi/~apoikola/images/tortoisecvs.JPG

Unfortunately I got the error message: CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data

connect to cvs.sourceforge.net:2401 failed: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. Error, CVS operation failed

I found the old message posted to this list few years ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.multimedia.puredata.general/20689/focus=2...

My question remains: do I use the correct settings in tortoisecvs or is there some other like sourceforge server related problem?
