[PD] readanysf~ compile troubles and usage problems

[august]

Jerome,

yes, for some reason unknown to me, you need to put the libflext.so either
in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib and then do ldconfig.   even if you update
your ld.so.conf to recognize the new location of flext (normally
/usr/local/lib/pd/flext/), it will not be recognized by the build system.
don't know why that is.

and, that shouldn't have anything to do with the crashes you are having.

sounds like a bug.

pretty sure it has to do with readanysf~ itself.

I doubt this.

if you just want to read wav, aif data, then maybe try [readsf~] and add a
timer for sussing out the file position.
