[PD] gem: can't load library

[Agent Engram]

those *are* the things i tried...

>download and install pd-extended (which contains both, pd and gem
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pure-data/Pd-0.39.3-extended-planetccrma6-i386.tar.bz2
this was what I tried to do first.

basically this required that I go to planet CCRMA rebuild my kernal, also
get jack,
once i did that i tried to run the binaries and got the "floating point
error", pd didnt run at all

so i decided to get the extended version source code and build that...

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pure-data/Pd-0.39.3-extended.tar.bz2

it built with th following installs added
yum install autoconf
yum install tcl
yum install tk
yum install tcl-devel
yum install tk-devel

well that got pd running, but gem is failing. so did the extended source
build gem or not? are more devel packages required that I missed?
>download the gem binaries from the gem site
the only site I know of is http://gem.iem.at/ is this what you are talking
about? I dont not see *gem binaries for linux* on windows, in fact they
recommend on the site building gem, but its my understanding that this comes
with pd extended, which I built, and which is not loading the gem libs.

so i have now tried to build gem and it fails during configure because it
*seems* to not know how to build using gcc...wierd. who uses g++, i dont
even know how to get it.

[root at aalto src]# autoconf configure.ac>configure
[root at aalto src]# chmod 777 configure
[root at aalto src]# ./configure
checking for Base/configLinux.h.in... yes
checking for g++... no
checking for c++... no
checking for gpp... no
checking for aCC... no
checking for CC... no
checking for cxx... no
checking for cc++... no
checking for cl... no
checking for FCC... no
checking for KCC... no
checking for RCC... no
checking for xlC_r... no
checking for xlC... no
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

this is driving me a little crazy.
