@alexandros. not sure how i installed it. I was using ubuntu 16.04 but never managed to solved it. As of today I´ve decided to reinstall ubuntu and everything works perfect it´s not the best solution but it works now. BTW i'm running same ubuntu and pd installed from command line.

@alexandros oh btw if i don't run pd as root i can't save

@ingox uhm not sure how to compile from source any hints?.

BTW i need qjackctl or patchage for routing different outputs... midi from vmpk and the audio out of pd (connected through jack the other options throw errors on sound pcm and so)

@alexandros hi! I'm not on Pi but on Ubuntu

Hi! I just stepped here because i still have the same issues under ubuntu 16.04. I've already added the audio file inside limits.d to the root group. Then start qjackctl (not as sudo as it crashes the whole os) and then sudo puredata but i get the same error about returned status 17. Am i missing something?

@Jojo-Lapin Thanks Jojo!! i'll check that when i finish reading the chapter from the book.

@gsagostinho Thanks!! I will do it right now. I´ll keep posting if i have more doubts.

Thank you very much Gilberto,
Jose

My question is pretty simple, i'd like to know where can i get some information on what is really the vcf~, i've read the help and it says it's a resonnant bandpass and low pass filter. Where can i get more information about these? I've already read about how to build analog filters and the math involved but can't make an idea of how a vcf~ works in real life.

Thanks,
Jose

@whale-av , I finally stopped trying it today , My last try was building GEM with Visual Studio 2015 but it gives a lot of errors. I manually patched the files but i got to a point where it was tiresome. This is the last tutorial i followed. If someone feels in the mood of building it and teaching how to do i'll totally appreciate

@Balwyn I've follow your steps but still nothing this is what i got in the console:

@dxk right now i'm following this. I'll post later how it went

EDIT: no luck on compiling, in the last step making the dll's i got a pthread error related to pix libraries. . Hope there will be a new update on the library

I've found out something i just downloaded some Dlls from another site don't remember wich its called Gem 0.94-test3. The Dll's are recompiled for windows 10. Now it works. I think the best is if somebody knows how can we recompile the source explain us.

@dxk I think the problems rely's in dependencies in windows maybe? i get many errors around gemglutwindow, gemlist, GLDefine GL_LINEAR, ....and many more . @Balwyn have you installed anything else?. BTW im running Pd vanilla as admin all the time. when installing Gem and when using the slash declaration. any hints?

Not sure what i'm doing wrong. When i do the slash declaration method I can create a gemwin object but the load search path doesn't work. Also i'm getting other errors when i make a [Gem/gemwin] in the console shows:

gemglutwindow
couldn't create
....and many more but that is the first so the errors start by that

Hi. I'm a total beginner related to Pd externals but i know a bit about Pd itself the thing is i'm trying to use the GEM plugin but still no luck.

What i've done is use the Find Externals menu and installing GEM in a folder inside Documents. Im using Windows10 btw.

Then i've set the path in [File-Preferences-Path] where i downloaded my library, then restart Pd

When i create a new File and call gemwin i got an error in the console "couldn't create"

Any hints?

Thanks!
