Hi all,

I try to setup a computer that I got from someone to work with Pd- extended on linux (I want to work with video openCV , pdp , etc... and to develop some new openCV stuff with it).

I just installed on it Ubuntu hardy 8.04.2 64 bits versions, and I hoped to be able to install the version compiled for Ubuntu hardy available on the website puredata.info, but the package installer say:

STATUS: ERROR: WRONG ARCHITECTURE 'I386'

I checked on the mailing list archive and I see that there was some messages in 2006 reporting problems for this processor with tabread tabwrite and other.

So I have three questions:

1) Is there a version already compiled for AMD 64 or should I try to compiled it myself (and is it possible?)

Build it yourself, there currently aren't any official 64-bit binaries because there is no 64-bit machine in the build farm. If someone would either donate a 64-bit machine or figure out how to host a 64- bit build on a 32-bit machine, then we could add official 64-bit builds.

2) If I compile it myself, will there be some externals that may not work?

Yes, check the archives to see which. Most do work fine though, its just a few that don't/

3) is it maybe a very bad idea to try to work with this AMD 64 computer ?

No, its good idea, many people are doing it.
