Hi IOhannes,<br>
<br>
I was referring to the message that comes with this version of Pd-X.<br></div>
From the console: /WARNING: 64-bit builds are still beta, some libraries are known to have serious issues (cyclone, maxlib, moonlib, moocow, pdp, bsaylor, etc.) For more info, see the README.txt in '64-bit-warning-plugin' in the Help Browser/<div class="">

Thanks for your help I followed your instructions and found that I have both gem_imageTIFF.so and gem_imageMAGICK.so so I disabled gem_imageTIFF.so and now Pd no longer crashes however "GEM: Unable to save image..." with [pix_write]. I tried [pix_writer] but it doesn't respond to a [file <name>( or a [bang( and there is no help that I can find. Would you mind explaining how to use [pix_writer] please. Then if I can get it working I'd be happy to write a help patch for it.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
<br>

why? what?<br>
what exactly are you referring to with "the 64th bit"?<br>
how is it buggy?<br>
<br>
> but according to my searching [pix_write] has had issues for a while?<br>
<br>
if it does has issues with PdX-0.43.3 then it will have these issues<br>
forever. i don't think anybody will make a bugfix version of this PdX<br>
release ever...rather a new shiny PdX-0.45.6 might come out...<br>
<br>
in any case:<br>
- [pix_write] is deprecated in favour of [pix_writer] (which takes the<br>
incoming PIX to write, rather than creating a snapshot of the current<br>
framebuffer). the deprecation happened because [pix_write] is flawed by<br>
design rather than any bugs.<br>
<br>
- which imageplugins are you using? search for files called<br>
"gem_image*.so" in your extra/Gem/ folder.<br>
if you have both gem_imageTIFF.so and gem_imageMAGICK.so try disabling<br>
one of them (just rename it to something not starting with "gem_" && not<br>
ending with ".so, e.g. gem_imageTIFF.so.disabled) and see if it helps;<br>
if not try disabling the other one. the MAGICK plugin should be the<br>
preferred one.<br>
