one simple way should be: install puredata/gem/... via synaptics. this should resolve a lot of dependencies for hc's installer. then you can install hc's installer (if you want to, because (e.g.) the ubuntu versions deem you too outdated) the ubuntu/debian-packages and hc's installer should happily live together on one machine (the official packages will install themselves into /usr/ while hc's installer should go into /usr/local; since /usr/local/bin has usually a higher priority than /usr/bin you will get pd-extended when you type "pd" into your xterm. > what i actually did was: > first i looked into the synaptics manager, found pd. there was no info > which version nor if it's bare pd or whatever, so i looked over to HCS's this is because "pd" is the old deprecated package name; the new one is called "puredata" (and "pd" is a virtual package provided by "puredata" to get dependencies right in the stage of transition) > site because i run have good experiences with his release on osx. so i > tried to install this one and could not get Gem to run either even > after installing libmpeg, lib imagemagick and whatever else was missing > even make itself seemed not to be there. iirc, your last problem was with "glDeleteProgramsNV"; i guess that they only package that would help you here is the nvidia-binary drivers (of course you will need an nvidia card to make any use of them). if you are using some other gfx-card, you will have to recompile Gem yourself. this should be quite simple: 1) get all the packages _needed_ for building Gem; since you are using a Debian-based system, this is as simple as: #> apt-get build-dep gem 1a) make sure you have automake and autoconf installed (it might be that automake is not yet in the build-dependencies of ubuntu's gem) 2) get recent source of Gem (from CVS!) and unpack them 3) optional(!): get some more packages for building Gem (there is a readme somewhere) 4) build Gem (cd Gem/src && make) if this is too complicated, get a cheap nvidia-card and it should run. mfg,asdr.
