Hi I have a few libs that really need to live in /usr/libs SDT.so likes being in there Fluid~ likes being in there and i think the munger code likes a file in /usr/lib i have to double check but so far my fluidsynth patch is not working have there been changes because i fear the Install-Fluid @oweno wrote so elegantly no longer works and i am hopeful for a little direction before i proceed [https://patchstorage.com/fluid-synth-installer/](https://patchstorage.com/fluid-synth-installer/) ---

externals and .so should work in the patch directory as long as they are compiled correctly - this is all to do with ‘rpath’ , basically you don’t want them fixed to locations, otherwise it creates version nightmares! i’ll have to take at fluid later to see whats going on, its quite possible its got a dependency that’s was present on arch, but not on Raspbian by default… ---

i think that’s the case. My patches on v1 work with fluid --M obviously not. Thanks! ---

Speaking of external libs, @thetechnobear did you ever complete your Norns project for the PUSH? I followed as long as i could before work took all my time. ---

yeah, all my ‘work’ is open source and on my GitHub repos. theoretically, this should even work on the organelle-m, but I can’t say ive tried it yet. so many opportunities/possibilities , even if your inquisitive its hard to keep up 😉 perhaps i’ll give it a go for the video shoot 🙂 ---

i had built most of it but that was before the PUSH thing which looks perfect btw i have a pisound that would be perfect for it ---

the norns/pisound/push2 stuff in my repo works , I know a few people that have already got it working/use it . i’ll admit I backed off a little bit, as a few in the monome community started to get a bit 'off ’ about what I was doing - so I decided to just let it be open, and those that wanted to use my work could ask, and id help and explain as required - but not really talk about it on lines etc. also, on the flipside, I found the way norns uses sc/lua - sidelined/obfuscated the sclang stuff, like pdef/ndef which Id found were really exciting about supercollider - so that kind of made me less enthusiastic about norns. so now I ‘track it’ (ie my repo is up to date with norns), as who knows it might turn and go somewhere exciting, but for now its not that interesting **to me** … yet I understand others love it, so I recognise this is just my **personal** opinion, not a judgement on norns. ---
