copy xgui in your pd directory. [linux] it's better to do a make uninstall with your old version of xgui before installing the new one. from a terminal : make make install Thats all !!! it will copy the right files @ the rigth places, but only if you have install pd with make install too. Test it by running pdx from a terminal make uninstall will remove all the files created by "make install" [windows] extract the xgui_x.xx.tar.gz into your pd-path for ex.: c:/pd/ Run "install.bat", it will copy the right files @ the rigth places. Test it by running pdx.bat [other & all] Seg is very easy to install just have a look into makefile & install.bat and you'll have all the information to install it manually. In fact you d'ont really need to install anything : just extract the archive in your pd directory. Then run xgui & pd with the right options : check pdx.* for details.
