Hi,
I'm new to both PD and Ubuntu.
I've been mainly using PD on Windows XP, but I've been trying to use it on Ubuntu as well.
I noticed that patches I've created on XP don't quite work correctly in Ubuntu. Why is this, and what can I do about it?
Also, I'm having trouble getting PD in Ubuntu to locate abstractions, even after defining search paths.
Thanks,
Joe
What specific error messages are you seeing? Are objects missing? Have paths changed?
Which versions are you using on the respective machines? It could be more to do with that than the OS.
Locate errors by reading the console and using Edit->Find Last Error

Okay, I was using .40-2. So I installed .39 extended, and solved one problem: objects had been resized and everything was a mess.
That's okay now.
But some objects are missing, e.g. decimate~ from extra/sigpack. The object is installed in /usr/lib/local/pd/extra/sigpack (with a .pd_linux extension - which leads me to wonder what this extension is, and why these objects have it) but pd can't create the object.
Having similar trouble with other objects in different paths, although I have tried defining the paths in File menu and everything looks okay, but the objects aren't being created.
I appreciate the help, thanks.

Does the sigpack library load when you specify it in the "Startup" preferences? The .pd_linux extension is just a pd external binary for linux. I have had problems like this before - try running pd with verbose (pd -verbose from the terminal) and see what you get as far as specific errors. This can and will be fixed - it's probably something simple :)

I tried running pd -verbose from the terminal, but got the same errors. It looks like at least some of the extended libraries are not being searched, and that pd is not searching subdirectories of the paths I entered.
I'm sure it is something simple, but being fairly in the dark about both pd and linux, putting the two together is a recipe for confusion.

No, Pd doesn't search subdirectories, it never did, not even on Windows. You have to specify *all* paths to your externals and abstractions in the Preferences. So if /usr/lib/local/pd/extra/sigpack/decimate~.pd_linux should load when you create a [decimate~] object, you have to add /usr/lib/local/pd/extra/sigpack/ to your search path. And so on. It's the same for Linux and Windows.

OK. Got it. Thanks for helping me make sense of it.
