Greetings All
I have ubuntu 12.04 64bit running xfce and I installed puredata from the ubuntu software center and I get an error "/usr/lib/puredata/tcl/pd-gui.tcl" failes to execute child process no such file or directory. How can I fix this?
Thanks

make sure that the "puredata-gui" package is installed, and if it already is, then re-install it.

Thanks now when I try and go to the about and click on help and about or help and manual I get error messages couldn't open "/usr/lib/puredata/doc/1.manual/1.introduction.txt": no such file or directory couldn't not find "/usr/lib/puredata/doc/1.manual/index.htm": no such file or directory
I tried installing the doc's from the software center and it says I have to uninstall puredata.
Thanks Rick

try to find out why it wants to uninstall puredata.
most likely this is a version mismatch between the "puredata" package and the "puredata-doc" package. alternatively, "puredata-doc" got not updated[*] properly, but since "puredata" depends on "puredata-doc" you cannot really uninstall it without removing "puredata". personally, i would open a terminal, and run something like $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall puredata-doc
or (in case the above does not help), even do something like: $ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/puredata-doc_0.43.2-4_all.deb (adjust the version number to the one you have installed)

[*] i suspect this to be a package updating problem.
Thank you!!!!
The command "sudo apt-get install --reinstall puredata-doc"
worked
Aloha Rick
