I'm on Debian Squeeze and aren't able to get the zexy library to work. I've tried installing the packages (including pd-zexy) from the puredata repos, pd-extended different versions/nightly builds and installing packages from the puredyne repos but everytime I get the same message;

zexy: can't load library

It's located in /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy/ but Pd searches for /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy/zexy.pd_linux and that file doesn't exist. The file z~.pd_linux does exist, copying that as zexy.pd_linux doesn't work either because then the 'load_object: Symbol 'zexy_setup'' isn't found.

Are there more options I can try? I read something on the forums about zexy being scattered on OSX, is this also the case on Debian and do I just have to wait for a fix?

Hmz seems to be already know as a broken/orphaned package over at debian.org. All information is found on http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pd-zexy.html

Commence weeping.

hey weevil, I have no trouble installing pd (+ zexy e.t.c.) when i add the relevant line to sources.list and use 'sudo apt-get install pd-extended'

Thanks for responding! I can install pd-zexy this way too, but afterwards it's unusable.

Does the console say that zexy is loaded on startup? Can you create zexy objects like [repeat]?

yep, all fine and dandy. You might need to try the mailing list on this one i'm afraid
