buenas I've installed puredata via apt-get. starting pd - not one pixel of the familiar tcl gui is comin up, no error message in the console just quiting with ctrl+c brings the Pd: signal 2 message and nothing more available - space invasion?! Anyone dealt with that problem? I'm on debian-unstable. gr olsen
Could be many things, you should provide more info. Perhaps your
DISPLAY env var isn't set up properly. Send a transcript of your
console session also.

env gives my DISPLAY=:0.0

console session on pd startup?: on ./pd there is nothing more than signal 2 when ctrl.+c is hit
/home/olsen# pd -nogui couldn't open MIDI input device 0 couldn't open MIDI output device 0 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). and pd -noaudio the same as on ./pd ->blank
the alsa modules compiled fine and with xmms sounds ok thanks olsen

(i accidentally mailed this off-list, but it was the solution to the problem, so i'm just posting it for the benefit of the archive)
i just did a test on my machine and this output seems consistent with not having the "lo" (loopback) network device set up - this was mentioned by frank in an earlier post. i've had the same problem with a debian install before, so here are some verbose instructions on setting it up.
first test to see if you have the loopback defice. if you have it, the output of "ifconfig lo" will look like this:
root@oto:~$ ifconfig lo
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:100 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:100 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:7989 (7.8 KiB) TX bytes:7989 (7.8 KiB)
note the "UP" on the 3rd line of output.
if you don't see this, then (on debian) add the following two lines to /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback
the "auto lo" line means that next time you reboot, it will come up automatically, but to quickly do this without rebooting, run "ifup lo".
now running "pd" should present you with the tk interface we all lo(v|ath)e ;)
