[PD] gem-related libraries, runtime errors

[Artem Baguinski]

hello

i'm trying to make a gem package for gentoo GNU/Linux distribution.

compiling it following instructions in src/Gnu/README.build was no
problem. but on ftp there were some more packages, which i dont know
what to do with. they ain't mentioned in the README.build, but it seems
(i tried some examples) they are quite useful. to make a package i'd
rather know in what order should i build these other packages [and what
are there, where they came from etc]. i also read in the mailing list
archive about libmpeg3 dependancy, it isn't mentioned in the document
either.

i have pd/gem installed on my debian machine and there they work
absolutelly perfect (but they are older versions also). on gentoo
machine gem generates lots of errors and sometimes "misbehaves".
example:

============================================================
reading startup file: /home/buggs/.pdrc
GEM: Mark Danks
GEM: ver: 0.84-5
GEM: compiled: Aug 11 2002
>>> here i open a patch (red square)
>>> then click on create
error: GEM: Unable to create single buffer window
error: GEM: Error creating const context
error: GEM: A serious error occured creating const Context
error: GEM: Do not continue!
GEM: window created
>>> i click 1
GEM: Start rendering
>>> everything seems to work alright
>>> then i click 0
GEM: Stop rendering
>>> and finaly destroy...
Segmentation fault
pd_gui: pd process exited
>>> hmmm.... seems it understood me literally :)
============================================================

pd/gem segfaults every time i do destroy and complains about creating
single buffer window and context. i have a feeling this two are
related...

do simptoms look familiar to anybody?

thanks.
