Does anyone know how to get pd working under OpenSuse 10.1? I've tried compiling from source but am always told I need a dependency I already have. I've also tried installing the appropriate RPMs from online repositories, but each one I try seems to give me a different error message. Is pd just not compatible with my distro? If it isn't, why are packages available for it?

The deps are probably development libraries not the actual main package names. Are we talking TCL stuff missing here?

Hi, I use PD extensively on OpenSuse 10.3 without problems (using PD vanilla and extended versions).

OpenSuse Repositories? Maybe it's better to use the
Extended version you can take the Fedora Core/PlanetCCRMA packages from H.C. Steiner installer webpage

OpenSuse 10.1 is quite outdated (I had it ~ 1.5 years ago with several troubles, especially on download manager Yast)
I suggest you to move to 10.3 or the brand new 11.0 ...

Never compiled the exteneded version anyway. Once I tried pd vanilla (it was 0.39 version) and it worked out ok.

I downloaded and compiled the Fedora Core Extended version from the recommended web site. While it appeared to compile successfully, I get a "Floating Point Exception" message when I try to run it. Any ideas?

No Ideas.
