[PD] 64bit runtime error 'couldn't read file "/usr/tcl//pd-gui.tcl"'

[Billy Stiltner]

I had no problems compiling from /Downloads/pd-045xxxxx/src then looking
for all the symbolic links and launchers that point to the default
installed 'puredata'  package that comes with ubuntustudio 12.10 except
that I installed some of the guiplugins and now pd will not close from menu
or window x button. I have looked and looked for that script that sets that
and can not find it. running 'pd' from terminal and ctrl-c works to close.
I'm getting a stack overflow on loading of xensynth in pd-extended ,
actually a couple of them but it still works. I did notice the other day
that I'm still getting crackles when I play  the version with the string
emulator. I'm thinking it's something to do with wish and the mouse, about
has to be  because it happened in windows when I last checked  october
2012, the same crackles. the common denominator would about have to be wish
+ mouse.
