loading external libraries in ubuntu
Jul 7th, 2009, 8:58pm  
Hello all,
I've jumped the fence to ubuntu (jaunty) - got processing installed and working "satisfactorily." I'm trying to load the external library Beads: http://www.beadsproject.net/ - and I've created a sketchbook folder, registered it in Processing's preferences, created a 'libraries' folder in the sketchbook directory, put the Beads library in - which is a folder called 'Beads' containing a folder called 'library' containing the Beads jars. This is the configuration that would under windows or mac load the libraries, but when I try a simple:
Code:
import beads.*;
AudioContext ac;

I get "package beads does not exist."  

Any ideas?

Hi

linux filenames are case sensitive. you have to rename

sketchbook/libraries/Beads
to:
sketchbook/libraries/beads

(I think the Beads guys should fix this)

...and your import line has to read:
import net.beadsproject.beads.core.*;
(thats a java thing, would be the same on another OS)
