Hello,
i can't manage to use the* FFtease library* with my Pd-extended 0.43.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
I downloaded the library, extracted it and added the new path in 'edit > preferences' but it always says "burrow~ ( ect...) couldn't create ..."

Is this a known issue? How can I make it work?
Thank you

I was having the same problem, but I think I managed to solve it now:

Download the fftease library via the terminal:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eighthave/libdirs
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install pd-fftease

This library will be installed to /usr/lib/pd/extra/fftease. Now fire pd-extended, go to edit, preferences and then make a new path with that folder. Restart pd and all should be working fine.

Thank you for your answer

Download the fftease library via the terminal:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eighthave/libdirs

well, that's strange! Why do I have to install it? What's that untrusted repository? Do you know and trust in it?
Is there no other way to make it work?

Hi, sorry for not adding more information before, particularly about an untrusted repository. The link to this repository can be found in the official Pure Data website: http://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian

It says there:

"Getting Individual Libraries
It is also possible to get individually packaged libraries that are included in the official repos, but built for older releases. These packages are in the eighthave/libdirs PPA on launchpad.net. Some of the packages go back as far as Ubuntu/karmic 09.10."

I decided to give it a go after I found a message on the PD-list about someone having compiled a 64-bit version of FFTease and added to that repository: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2012-10/098211.html

Your answer gave me the cue: There is a package called pd-fftease already in the Ubuntu-Repository!
So without adding any repository just doing the following:

$ sudo apt-get install pd-fftease

This library will be installed to /usr/lib/pd/extra/fftease. Now fire pd-extended, go to edit, preferences and then make a new path with that folder. Restart pd and all should be working fine.

Yes! Thank you very much
