Hello,

Sorry for jumping in this topic late but I'd figure I'd add to the
convo...

I'm running Ubuntu and just started toying around with Gem... I got Gem
from Deken (the only options being for me being the
Gem-v.0.0extended-(Linux-i386-32).....tar.gz and I recall seeing one
from the usual ubuntu repos but I'm not seeing that now for some reason,..
but the tar.gz one seemed crashier to me? Opening up the pix_texture
examples among other things (I think potentially the movie examples as
well) would just crash pd. I ended up installing all the dependencies
via apt-get and compiling it myself from the latest source i could find
on github and that seems to have solved most of the crashing issues
(some things like the rtx stuff still crash for me but most of Gem is
actually usable now). So I've also had issues with using Gem installed
from Deken, but potentially unrelated to the experiences previously
mentioned.
