'The package "cc" does not exist' (Ubuntu)
Nov 24th, 2009, 3:29pm  
A few months ago I had everything working beautifully with an arduino set up with Processing running in Ubuntu to read inputs from a control box with a bunch of sliders, etc.

A few weeks ago I revisited this setup to show someone the box in action, only to find that I could no longer get my code to run, at all. It trips over 'import cc.arduino.*;' insisting 'The package "cc" does not exist. You might be missing a library' and reminds me that libraries must be installed in a sub-directory of the sketchbook folder called 'libraries'.

I knew that, and that's where it is - sketchbook/libraries/arduino - although the documentation here seems to be saying it's included with Processing anyway. I've had no problems setting it up in the same way on Windows or a Mac, either (though the Mac gives me other troubles).

It's probably significant that arduino doesn't show up in the 'Import Library' sub-menu, though the other contributed library I want to use does.

I've now tried this on several Ubuntu installations with the exact same result - surely I can't be the only person having this problem?

Ah... after some digging (via the 'history' of the download page) I tracked down a slightly older version of the library, which works just fine. The link is http://www.arduino.cc/playground/uploads/Interfacing/processing-arduino2.zip

...surely I can't have been the first one to have this problem!

I've now also reported this in the arduino forum.

Hi.

I also reported the solution that worked for Mac OSX to the same Arduino forum:

Quote:
I had the same problem in Mac OSX and solved by renaming the folder  "~/Documents/Processing/libraries/arduino 2" to ".../arduino". That is why it was not found by the import statement.

When you add the Arduino.jar file it gets copied to the sketch folder then it is readily found by the import statement.

Hope it helps in other systems.

Same problem at Gnu/Linux Debian Lenny 32bit and Windows 7 64 bit.
Only the solution with >Sketch>Add File... work...or the older lib. But i think is not the best to use an older lib 'with all the ugly bugs inside'. Aeh, i mean i would like to use the newer libs.  Wink

The Arduino website page that discusses 'Arduino and Processing(and Firmata') has two links, one older than the next.

Processing Library: processing-arduino-0017.zip (Updated 22 Sept. 2009)


Processing library for arduinoMega: processing-arduinomega.zip (Updated 12 Apr. 2010)

I think the contents of the second(newer) Zip file is incomplete; there should be a file called Arduio.jar in the <library> folder.

So i installed the contents of the older one and I no longer get the message  "The package "cc.arduino does not exist"
