Hi All,

I've just installed pd-extended on Ubuntu Studio 10.04. Everything's working fine except certain externals from zexy. In particular, the ones that have non-alphabetic characters in the name.

For example, I have a patch that uses ==~. This isn't present in /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/zexy where all the other zexy externals are. Instead you get a file called 0x3d0x3d0x7e.pd_linux. I optimistically copied this file and rename it "==~.pd_linux but then PD shows "load_object: Symbol "setup_0x3d0x3d_tilde" not found" when you load the patch. The same thing happens if you create an object called "0x3d0x3d0x7e" in a patch.

So I guess there's some problem compiling these files. Anyone know how to sort it out?

Cheers!

You can replace these with [expr~ $v1==$v2], [expr~ $v1>$v2], etc.

add hexloader in startup menu

Excellent - I think I'll go with the expr~ fix as it only appears in one not-particularly-important place in my code. Thanks for the help!

to whom who can help me,

i'm looking for help on installing pdmtl on Linux (ubuntu maverick) - i've put the folder into /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/pdmtl but when i open pd-extended and then the pdmtl browser, the window is empty... i've tried to add the path and everything i could but nothing seems to work...

i'm not an expert and any help would be very appreciated.

Thank's in advance
