[PD] GEM FTGL Sadness

[Derek Holzer]

I'm afraid claiming elitism is a bit like crying "wolf" in this 
situation. Perhaps you have a unique problem, meaning that your system 
is set up in a way that other people's aren't, and the only solution to 
this would be to "compile it". No one else can do it for you in such a 
situation, unless they're sitting in front of your system. Some of us do 
make housecalls, BTW, and usually for a reasonable price ;-)

The PD community has always had a strong Do It Yourself ethic. And it is 
free software, where you are your own helpdesk. Compiling isn't 
difficult or elitist. I was an artist with no background in computer 
programming whatsoever when I came to PD, and it didn't take that long 
to get the hang of it.

configure
make
make install

And if something goes wrong, copy the error into Google, where thousands 
of people have probably asked the same question already

Did you try the CVS version?

The GEM version in PD Extended is 0.91-cvs, so maybe you'll have some 
luck with that.

good luck,
