I've spent a long time on it now and have come to the conclusion that
it is dependancy related or a hardware problem relating to my netbook.
Either way I couldn't spend any more time trying solutions and so I
moved to fendora 10. It's yumming away at the moment.

Pure Dyne would have solved all my problems but unfortuatly it will
not run on my acer aspire. It's a known issue. I've downloaded ubuntu
studio also and may try that.

All I wanna do is make a ball move :(

Thanks though

Happy belated paddies day

Worst comes to worst, Pd and Pd-extended runs best on Debian-based
distros like Debian, Ubuntu, pure:dyne, etc.

hi all, i recently purchases an acer aspire one netbook, its
running fedora 8

i installed pd=extended through yum and was ready to begin using..

for some reason it wouldnt create any of the pidip specific objects
and on the irc a person asked me to create a pdp object and see
what the error was, it was the follow:

/usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp.pd_ linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp.pd_linux: undefined symbol:
pdp_metro_setup pdp ... couldn't create

pure dyne willl not run on this machine. and i am desperate to get
pd-extended running on this machine successfully...

i would try one of the nightly builds of pd-extended but i cant
figure out which package i require, ia m inexperienced with nameing
structures in linux...

any help greatly appreciated...

pd-extended might work on pure:dyne (after all, it's Debian with
extra packages), but it won't ever be in the live distro, and
installing it will remove all the supported pd externals from
pure:dyne (they depend on puredata, which pd-extended conflicts
with, or should if it has been packaged properly).

One of the main reasonings behind Pd in pure:dyne is to package each
library on its own, to avoid both the maintenance nightmares of a
huge package build system and the tricky timing involved to get "all
externals working at once". Each package can be tested separately
and upgraded separately, increasing quality and saving bandwidth.

I think that's the way that Pd-extended should be packaged for Debian
too. The monolithic package is not a good design, but was easy to
do. We were talking a while back about merging efforts, I think it
would be great to revisit that discussion.

Then the next step would be getting those packages into Debian. It
seems Guenter has stopped updating his Debian packages, 'puredata' is
at 0.40.3, pd-externals is no longer in the repo, etc.

BTW, pure:dyne has packages for pdp + friends, with no
pdp_metro_setup issue:

$ nm -D /usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp/pdp.pd_linux | grep metro 0000f9f0 T pdp_metro_setup

So I guess the original issue is another pd-extended bug.

Yeah, on Fedora only though. I don't use Fedora at all so I am at a
loss. PDP works fine in Pd-extended on Ubuntu and Debian.
