latest news: Ive successfully installed pd-extended on Ubuntu , including Gem and other libraries ,
they all works well !!

thanks Sunji ,radiostarkiller,nestor and my friends Jun.

here's my whole process:

1,download and install the latest Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid , then update system up-to-date
2,download the right version for your sys , for me , choose pd-extended intrepid deb package , and just double click it and install , the deb package could auto-download and install the related files from your install source.
3,after install finished, you could run pd-extend from terminal. but here we met a new problem, cannot load Gem successful. // don't worry, we just leave little half step to rush the finishing line @@)
4,turn on terminal, update apt-get source : sudo apt-get update
5, still terminal : apt-get install gem // pd and Gem would be downloaded from you source ftp , after that , type "pd" in terminal , new pd running out it's window , but none libraries was loaded.(@#$%!@ Holy.!#$%)
6, this situation we met before, similar but actually very different. last time I installed 2 version of pd in different path, and make sys disorder . but this time , the same path. and what I've done is to uninstall pd in terminal : "sudo apt-get remove pd" ,
7, backing to the extended deb package we downloaded before, and install again.
8: run pd ... Gem and other packages loading successful !

conclusion: I guess maybe don't need so complex to work it out, the key point I think is to install Gem from source, and it would install any package that Gem must needed .

that's it

thanks again and enjoy pd@Linux now

--------------------------- OLD POST -----------------------------------------------

because less user on Mandriva , so I changed my sys to Ubuntu yesterday.
and here I met new prolbem for installing pd-extended for Ubuntu.

before I install pd-extended , I installed these packages first:

libasound2 (>> 1.0.12)
libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1)
libjack0.100.0-0 (>= 0.101.1)
dep: tcl8.4 (>= 8.4.5)
dep: tk8.4 (>= 8.4.5)

and when I run pd install , both Hardy and Gutsy that showed error here :
Gutsy ; Error:Dependency is not satisfiable: libgsl0
Hardy: Error:Dependency is not satisfiable: liblame0

I searched them in package manager , I thought they were both about the libraries that I've installed above.

thats it

how did you install pd? with apt-get or synaptic? or did you download and ./make? or dpkg? something?

I download the *.deb file and using a win32 way that double click this file and a install window start after the checking bar goes twice, the red text error shows there.

maybe that's a stupid way to install ....
I haven't add source to synaptic,

and here's my latest report :
I installed intrepid version .... and no error report during the install process . every extra lib were successful loaded except Gem ... $!@###%&*@...
everything didnt go well must because newbie myself with tiny knowledge !@#$!@#...

here's error report:

ibdir loader $Revision: 1.8 $
written by Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans@at.or.at>
compiled on Dec 3 2008 at 17:50:14
compiled against Pd version 0.40.3.extended
/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem/Gem.pd_linux: libftgl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Gem: can't load library

and I was checked out this path and found Gem.pd_linux jsut lie down there..... ooops@@@~!#

Im really a trouble maker @@!@#$ Old problem doesnt solve , news comes rapidly...

hi!
i had the same problem with the gem-library.
it pissed me off, so i installed pure data (not pd-extended) with the synaptics. and then i installed pd-extended again and then gem suddenly worked fine.
yes this sounds stupid. and it probably is. and so am i

hoho! that's a special way to make things well , and what's your pd(not extended) version you first installed ?

..... I fllowed #4 's advice 1st I downloaded pd-0.40.2(a older version that Im worry if a high version could not let 0.40.3 install ) ,and then I reinstall extended 0.40.3 ...

the result is non library was loaded ....

....

When you install libraries to fulfill dependencies: make sure to install the -dev versions.

I want to remove them all and reinstall , but in root terminal it report me 0 files has been removed .

so I removed all the pd folder in terminal

after that I reinstalled the extended-intrepid version . but
when I run in terminal , a report shows here:

priority 98 scheduling enabled.
sh: /usr/local/bin/pd-watchdog: not found
priority 96 scheduling enabled.
sh: /usr/local/bin/pd-gui: not found

and I think that because I removed pd-0.40.2 folder which I compiled before.

and then I'm searching from google ,that the files which we compiled that should be install and removed by checkinstall.

so I downloaded the package and installed in terminal .

but checkinstall failed ..

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

root@mal:/home/mal/Documents/pd-0.40-2/src#

I dont know what to do now ....

maybe I was made and disturbed so much things here ..

could anyone please help me clean my mind and guide me here ? ..

well, sorry, it worked for me. did you try it this way?:
http://otherside.servebeer.com/software/keys/info.txt

if you have pd-extended installed and no libraries are loaded, search for ".pdsettings"
it's a hidden file, most likely in your own folder. for example /home/billy

take a look at the file, you could try to remove it(or temporarily move it somewhere else). pd will use the default settings then, which could maybe do the trick.

Did you uninstall completely in the command line? Hopefully you used dpkg. Typing 'rm' is something you should avoid, especially as root. If you can't uninstall completely from the terminal you should certainly be able to use synaptic. If you need more help, please let us know what steps you have taken in as much detail as possible? Linux is all about the small stuff.

thank you all , radiostarkiller it doesnt metter computer always goes different effects especially most probably because my operation fault on any step @

nestor , "Typing 'rm' is something you should avoid, especially as root."
yap... that's what I had done before dpkg ..... so got lots unexpected problem @@

Fortunately this is a new OS , so .... I reinstalled ubuntu and formated all the disk including /usr , /home ...

so ... maybe it would work well or , backing to some steps that we met before.

but I think it wont so unsequences like above

Ok, so...

If you are a new linux user, here's what you should do: It sounds like you already re-installed Ubunto, correct?

1. Download the stable debian package from http://puredata.info/downloads.
2. Try to Install with dpkg, or gdebi(something like this?) package installer.
3. You'll probably have to satisfy some dependencies, install these, especially the -dev versions using Synaptic.
4. Once you've filled the dependencies, try installing again, it should work.
5. Ask questions, you may want to get things like GEM, and dataflow and OSC working. You're best bet with linux is to always ask detailed questions and get detailed answers.
6. Always make sure you know how to undo what you are about to do, and you'll be golden.

thanks again Nestor,

yap I re-installed latest Ubuntu sys ,
and by using "apt-get install" , successfully installed PD and its libraries,.
yap...

thanks your advice

Sorry to rehash this thread but I ran into the same problem with GEM and found the quick fix.

running:
sudo apt-get install libftgl2

in the command line fixed it all for me.

cool , thanx , and what's your pd version ?
