[PD] couldnt create pdp

2009-03-17 Thread fín
hi all, i recently purchases an acer aspire one netbook, its running fedora
8

i installed pd=extended through yum and was ready to begin using..

for some reason it wouldnt create any of the pidip specific objects and on
the irc a person asked me to create a pdp object and see what the error was,
it was the follow:


/usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp.pd_linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp.pd_linux: undefined
symbol: pdp_metro_setup
 pdp
... couldn't create

pure dyne willl not run on this machine. and i am desperate to get
pd-extended running on this machine successfully...

i would try one of the nightly builds of pd-extended but i cant figure out
which package i require, ia m inexperienced with nameing structures in
linux...

any help greatly appreciated...

Hmm, that's an odd one.  Did you use the planetccrma packages?   I  
don't know how Nando built things really, it seems a file got missed.   
I think you asked about this on #dataflow, did you find a solution?


Worst comes to worst, Pd and Pd-extended runs best on Debian-based  
distros like Debian, Ubuntu, pure:dyne, etc.

2009-03-17 Thread Paul Finn
I've spent a long time on it now and have come to the conclusion that  
it is dependancy related or a hardware problem relating to my netbook.  
Either way I couldn't spend any more time trying solutions and so I  
moved to fendora 10. It's yumming away at the moment.


Pure Dyne would have solved all my problems but unfortuatly it will  
not run on my acer aspire. It's a known issue. I've downloaded ubuntu  
studio also and may try that.


All I wanna do is make a ball move :(

Thanks though

Happy belated paddies day

pd-extended might work on pure:dyne (after all, it's Debian with extra 
packages), but it won't ever be in the live distro, and installing it 
will remove all the supported pd externals from pure:dyne (they depend 
on puredata, which pd-extended conflicts with, or should if it has been 
packaged properly).


One of the main reasonings behind Pd in pure:dyne is to package each 
library on its own, to avoid both the maintenance nightmares of a huge 
package build system and the tricky timing involved to get "all 
externals working at once".  Each package can be tested separately and 
upgraded separately, increasing quality and saving bandwidth.


BTW, pure:dyne has packages for pdp + friends, with no pdp_metro_setup 
issue:


$ nm -D /usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp/pdp.pd_linux | grep metro
f9f0 T pdp_metro_setup

So I guess the original issue is another pd-extended bug.

I think that's the way that Pd-extended should be packaged for Debian  
too.  The monolithic package is not a good design, but was easy to  
do.  We were talking a while back about merging efforts, I think it  
would be great to revisit that discussion.


Then the next step would be getting those packages into Debian.  It  
seems Guenter has stopped updating his Debian packages, 'puredata' is  
at 0.40.3, pd-externals is no longer in the repo, etc.

pdp_metro_setup issue:

Yeah, on Fedora only though.  I don't use Fedora at all so I am at a  
loss.  PDP works fine in Pd-extended on Ubuntu and Debian.

Re: [PD] couldnt create pdp

2009-03-18 Thread Paul Finn
The prognosis was meagative on my two recent fedora excursions, f8 and  
f10. Pd would work fine but most extended specific obects couldn't be  
created. I lost a lot of time figuring this out. Moved to ubuntu  
today. Much happier now.


With this new tutorial manual there are a few total beginner things  
that I've learned the hard way that could be included. There is no  
reason not to consolidate info. Small links with basic info get lost  
in most scene/communities I find. My two cents.
