PureData

Introduction
PureData is real-time graphical-programming environment for audio and visual processing. It is similar to the proprietary software Max/MSP.

PureData is a general purpose tool that can be used for any number of audio processing needs, and with extensions graphical and video processing is possible as well.

PureData can currently be installed on gentoo systems by using the Pd-overlay.

Do layman -f to fetch the list of overlays if you havn't already:

Add the pd-overlay:

If the error occured try to emerge svn.

The packages pd and pd-extended should show up in your searches now. The emerge will succeed if you add these use flags to /etc/make.conf:

Then emerge!
