Hi battleshooter,I am running plinej's setup for Audacity for quite a while now in Puppy 4 Dingo so I am living proof what a noob can do when handed the proper tools.Just hang in there and it will come.cheers,bill

[battleshooter]

Oh yeah stink, I forgot about that. I'm using Puppy 3. Is there an alternative package I can use instead of libsamplerate-0.1.2.pet? Or a way I can update libstdc++.so.6 so I can get 'GLIBCXX_3.4.9'?

[battleshooter]

Oh, and thanks for the encouragement Bill! I'm sure I will get there in the end, but it'll take time

I use a newer libstsdc++.so in Muppy0084alpha, from Gnomeslack.org.

Please backup first these files in /usr/lib/, as far as they exist:

libgcc_s.so
libgcc_s.so.1
libstdc++.so
libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so.6.0.9

Then extract the attached archive in /root, and move the files from /root/libstdc++.so.6.0.9 to /usr/lib/

I cannot tell you though, if it works.
If not, then restore your backuped files.
It might be better maybe, if someone could post an archive with these files from Puppy 4.

Thanks MU!

Audacity is up and running! I can't record yet, but I think that will just take a bit of tweaking. Thanks Plinej and Bill also for your consideration!
Much appreciated!

As a new user, I have a few questions about this. I'm using Puppy 4. I want to install Audacity, but I'm a bit intimidated at this early stage by the process.

1. Is this beta version good and stable at this point?

2. What is twolame? Is this something that runs in the background or how and when is it used?

3. Am I correct that all I need to do is download the following .pet's and then drag the audacity icon to the desktop and off it goes?

a. the Audacity .pet
b. WxGTK
c. Jack
d. Twolame
e. libvamp 1.0
f. libsamplerate 0.1.2
g. soundtouch 1.5

4. Is there a .pet for lame?

Thanks for all this work you're doing.

[plinej]

Yes, it's very stable, I use it all the time and it works great. Twolame is a mp2 encoder. Lame is already installed in Puppy by default. Once you install all the dotpets you will be able to click on Audacity in the menu to start it.

[Ron]

Thanks for the reply. I heard that Lame is installed in Puppy, but when I try to click on the icon in usr/bin, or initrd/pup_ro2/usr/bin, there is no response at all, although they show as an executable. If I type "lame" in a command line, I get:

"LAME 32bits version3.97 (http://www.mp3dev.org/)
usage: lame [options] <infile> [outfile]" ,

(etc with a few other lines.)

I see a bunch of lib files pertaining to Lame, but maybe something is missing?

I guess I can get it another way if necessary, but it would be nice to know why it doesn't work, especially if I'm doing something wrong.

BTW, is it possible to copy and paste from a console to a browser? I tried ctrl c and v, but it didn't take.

[plinej]

If you click on lame nothing will happen. Lame is a command line tool only. Audacity will use the lame library that is already on your system. To copy between your browser and terminal all you need to do is highlight the text and then use the middle click on the mouse to paste.

[Ron]

plinej,
I see. I thought you had to run Lame like I used to in an older windows system I had. You had to get the wav file from Audacity and then run a Lame program to encode it to mp3 as I recall.
Thanks

[Gopher]

It looks like the WxGTK thing was taken down. Any chance of putting it up somewhere else?

[plinej]

updated the links

[Gopher]

Thanks!

Here is a new link for the wxgtk pet:

Neither of the Audacity pet links seem to work so I have remove link from Wiki (also this is quite old now). Let me know if you require it back on the wiki
