Hi, I am working on a project involving OSC communication between PD and Processing. On my Manjaro linux (Arch), my patch works fine on a PD v. 0.48. However the project is supposed to run on a Ubuntu machine, and I can’t make it work properly. The patch attached doesn’t find objects such as [oscparse] or [oscformat] (the object’s borders are dashed). If I remember correctly, I installed it using Help > Find externals of the 0.48 version. But Ubuntu comes with a 0.45 version and I encounter difficulties to upgrade it or to install the OSC library manually.

Can you help me to solve my problem, either by pointing how I can install the OSC library, or how I can install PD 0.48 on Ubuntu linux?

[oscparse] and [oscformat] are native object of Pd and you can't find them via Deken (Help -> Find externals). The best you can do is either install the latest LTS Ubuntu 18.04, which I think comes with Pd-0.48-1, or download the source code, either from Pd's or Miller's website, and compile it yourself. The INSTALL.txt file is now pretty detailed and covers all you need to compile it from source.

Thank you Alexandros, it has been very helpful. I compiled Pd 0.48-1 myself and everything works correctly now.
