Hi,
I have installed pd-extended 0.38.4 on ubuntu feisty. When I tried to open it, it asked for several libraries. So I made several symbolic links to libraries it has asked for, and they appear to be working OK.
But libvos3gcc3.so has got me stumped.
When I try to open pd I get the following error message:
/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libvos3gcc3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have libvos3gcc3.so in /usr/lib/openoffice/program.
I have tried:
a/ making a symbolic link from /usr/local/lib/pd/bin to /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libvos3gcc3.so
b/ copying libvos3gcc3.so to /usr/local/lib/pd/bin
Neither worked! *@#%$%!!
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do here?
Thankyou!

hi.
i stripped the "zexy" from the subject-line.

let's have a look.

[pix_buffer]:
there is a minor annoyance, where [pix_buffer_read] (and
[pix_buffer_write]) do a check for an existing [pix_buffer] at creation
time (which is a bad time to check, since the corresponding [pix_buffer]
might be yet non-existant).
usually you can safely ignore this warning.
(however, i was not able to detect any other problems from your error
logs, which does not mean that there are none).

just to make sure: you DO have a PeteSlide.dll in C:/vid/gem-vj/freeframe/?
and Gem has been able to load this dll in previous incarnations?
afaik, Gem for w32 is still just directly pulled from gem.iem.at
(instead of compiled on the autobuild farm); this might still be a
problem with compiler versions and the like...

this has always been like this: [rotateXYZ] either needs no or exactly 3
arguments; try to find out why your patch gives another number of
arguments to this object.

Gem's default font has changed from arial.ttf to vera.ttf for legal reasons.
just copy your old C:/vid/gem-vj/over/arial.ttf to
C:/vid/gem-vj/over/vera.ttf....

Sounds great!
I started to think about how it could be done. One simple start would be
to include the list of objects according to function that is found in
core-pd. However, I think it would be better to put in in the help menu
rather than then right-clicking on the canvas. This would encourage
newbies to use the standard pd blocks to start with.
A general function-to-block dictionary is more complicated since there
seems to be something like 1000 help files in the doc section...
One possibility could be to put a text label in each help file, for example:
;;;pd-extended classification;;;category: audio;function: filter,
subfunction: bandpass;;;
This is just an example. It could be done in a number of ways e.g. just
give keywords. The audio/control classification is of course already
evident from the tilde sign.This could be complemented with a short
"one-liner":
;;;description: A 2-pole bandpass filter;;;
Then this would be divided in thee tasks:
1. agree on the list of categories and functions
2. label the help files ( I guess that it would be easy for everyone to
do in the CVS?)
3. Implement sorting according to function in the browser. (If the
browser search the doc section a new lib would be included automatically.)
The first step can be done on this list or in the pd doc group.
The second step can easily be distributed. I could spend some time with
it and I think I could mobilize more people at the department as well.
The last step depends mostly on hans so it would be great to hear your
opinion about it.

Just had a quick look, impressive work you did there. More comments
later, but there is one big technical problem for everyone not on
Windows as you: Your abstractions are named with mixed upper/lowercase
letters and in your patches you even use different spelling for the
same patch sometimes, like [dline-term] and [dline-Term] while the
actual object is called "dline-TERM.pd". Pd *is* case-sensitive so you
should decide what names to use. I would recommend to stick with all
lowercase names.
Ciao

Another thing: Something really strange is happening in excitation.pd:
Opening it, even with -noloadbang, completely freaks out my Pd and
makes it grind to a complete halt for like 20 seconds. The scollbar to
the right is showing a huge patch area, but there doesn't seem to be
anything outside the visible area.
