[L2Ork-dev] Help a complete Linux noob install pd-l2ork!

[Tianyu Ge]

Hey Reed,

The problem with 64-bit installation looks like that some dependencies
required for pd-l2ork are not fulfilled, namely libtk8.5. Could you try to
manually install it, and then run the program again?

# apt-get install libtk8.5
*(# denotes elevated permission; same below)*

Regarding pd-vanilla: I have not tried to install pd-vanilla along with
pd-l2ork so I'm not aware of any potential conflicts. To uninstall
pd-vanilla, go to the directory where you compiled it and run the makefile.
It should be under the src folder if I recall correctly.

# make uninstall
# make clean

Hope that helps.

Best,
Tianyu
