[L2Ork-dev] installing pd-l2ork

Hi Ico, hi all,

Thanks for the quick replies, I really appreciate. I was able to force 
the installation of pd-l2ork and keep my pd-extended by using "sudo dpkg 
-i --force-overwrite pd-l2ork-x86_64-20140913.deb" as suggested on that 
link. I made some few tests and apparently both distributions are 
working perfectly well side by side. I also tested some Gem objects and 
they seem to be working fine (although some objects used in the help 
files of Gem are not working, such as [gcanvas]. I tested other objects 
from the ggee library, and some of them work fine (such as [atan2~], 
[image] and [sfwrite~], but others don't, such as [button], [fatom], 
[slider], [toddle].

I also would like to report that during this forced installation, I got 
a long list of overwritten packages by dpkg (I can post the whole log 
where if that is suitable). Basically, what was causing conflicts were 
the already mentioned file Gem.pc, also all the files inside 
/usr/include/Gem/ (tons of them, to be accurate), then some other files 
(one icon, one file inside emacs folder, the cyclist folder and a file 
named /usr/bin/config-switcher.sh).

Let me know if I can be of any help with these things, and thanks once 
again for the guidance.

Best,
Gilberto
