[PD] GEM on PIII memory problem?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Are you sure that Gem also was compiled without SSE2 support?  If you built the whole package with the Pd-extended build system, it wouldn't change the Gem build system's setup.  That would have to be done in addition to changing the settings in packages/linux_make/Makefile.  I think you'd need to edit the Gem ./configure flags in packages/Makefile.
