hi,

it's always good to use once of the various mailing lists to ask questions regarding Pd. this allows other people to benefit from problems.

Happy New Year Iohannes,

I am getting closer to install your Gem .93.3 from git-hub, but it is not as easy as I thought before :) I am on Ubuntu Lucyd with an AMD 64 bit processor and a ATI Radeon video card in it. Any time I want to configure Gem, it gives me an error that I need openGL. I checked with glxinfo|more my openGL version and it says it is 1.4. So I stopped installing Mesa3D v9.0.1 as I realized it is for ubuntu 12.04 and not for Lucyd. And I am sure I have openGL installed. I used your command to congigure with GL version 1.4, but it did not solve the problem. I just can not compile Gem at all. What do I do wrong? What is the solution? Can you help me in this, as I am trying it already a year and just can not get the right way to connect my extended PD with VLC.

in order to compile Gem, you need the developer (-dev) packages of the various packages. on debian-derivatives (like ubuntu), Gem is already in the mainline distro (though probably not in the most up-to-date development version), which means, that you can simplify the building process greatly by running: $ sudo apt-get build-dep gem this will install all packages the package-maintainers deem necessary to compile the Gem for the distro, which is usually a good start.
