As the title suggests I am having trouble getting the 'iemlib' library compiled. It doesn't show up using the deken search tool so I am attempting to install and compile it from source. i am using pd-0.50-2..

I followed the README_lin.txt instructions in the iemlib folder but when asked to add the library to the .pdrc or pd_start_script I couldn't locate either of those files so I included the path to the library in the pd drop down preferences menu instead.

However whenever I try to create the 'soundfile_info' object (the one from the iemlib I am interested in) it just says 'couldn't create' in the terminal.

Although I have limited knowledge of navigating the linux terminal I have done all the steps in the README_lin.txt apart from the above mentioned correctly, and have also tried compiling through pdlibbuilder with no success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

@adammccaffrey Hi, RPI is ARM not sure if iemlib is available for this architecture on the deken package manager. You can try your luck by installing pd from the apt source. Or you can download pd-extended (...) and extract the iemlib:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pure-data/files/pd-extended/0.43.4/pd-extended_0.43.4~extended1-1~raspbian_wheezy_armhf.deb/download

(do not install this deb, just extract the folder and look for iemlib)

Good luck

Most of the iem stuff are available through apt-get. Just type apt-cache search ^pd- and you'll get all the available Pd packages. Then install via sudo apt-get install <package-name>.
