how to add new library to Processing??
Aug 7th, 2006, 7:09am  
Hi,

I tried to add the "carnivore" library to "Processing"
as described on this web page:

   http://r-s-g.org/carnivore/processing.php

and then I tried to run the example program:

   http://r-s-g.org/carnivore/p5_sample2.txt

but it fails with this error:

  You need to modify your classpath, sourcepath, ....
   Jikes could not find package org.rsg.carnivore in the code folder
   or in any libraries.

I read Ben Fry's comments in processing/libraries/howto.txt
but I don't see any instructions about how to set my classpath, or whatever.

Interestingly, In the "Sketch > Import Library >" menu
I don't see the new "carnivore" library listed, even though
it is there in the "libraries" folder.

Can anyone help me figure out how to add this library
and run the example?

I've try it and it works. Are you sure that you have downloaded the right file (http://r-s-g.org/carnivore/download/current_p5.zip) and unpacked it in the folder yourProcessingFolder->library.

oops!  I downloaded the wrong file.

I had "CarnivorePE" instead of "Carnivore Library for Processing".

The library works as advertised,
and the example processing program
is easy to understand and modify.

... however, I don't know how to convert an IP address
(130.113.128.10) into a hostname (something.myhost.com)

Does anyone know how to do that in Processing?
