yes, but a bit too many (and none is called "how to sucessfully compile pd-ext in intrepid 64b"). I installed the hundreds of Mbs of packages described in http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Debian (Intrepid 64b here). After I went to http://puredata.info/docs/developer/GettingPdSource and tried the rsync -av --delete rsync://128.238.56.50/distros/pd-extended/ pd-extended/ thing, which didn't do much more than nothing else after downloading 100Kb of data. Anyway I don't know if it should be necessary to mirror the whole cvs, neither am I interested in keeping that around. Shouldn't it be enough to download one of the night builds? I'm also not interested in building a .deb installation file, just want to put pd in my system. I went again to the src folder of the latest nightbuild (http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/2009-01-15/pd-2009-01-15-linux-ubuntu-intrepid-i386-i686.tar.bz2), and did the ./configure + sudo make install ritual. After installing and tried to run pd, the result is - surprisingly (or not...) - the same as before: "error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". [a note: as the final result is the same, maybe it wasn't really necessary to install all the packages described before. at least I didn't notice any difference during the make/install process] In case it's important to look at the results of what I just described, they're in http://pastebin.com/m43402a32. > INSTALL.txt is only easily modifyable by Miller, since it is part of > pd-vanilla.
