arduinome+serial-pyio+linux

here is the exact error involving pypm. to get to this point i need to first
export PYTHONPATH=src
python import gui.singletonqueue
then i get to the point where the pypm error happens:

File "serial-pyio.py", line 56, in <module>
import router
File "/home/jared/serial-pyio/src/router.py", line 36, in <module>
import proxy.midiproxy
File "/home/jared/serial-pyio/src/proxy/midiproxy.py", line 35, in <module>
import pypm
ImportError: /home/jared/serial-pyio/lib/pypm/pypm.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. I've been out for the week end.

Serial-pyio needs python PortMidi (pypm) for the midi functions. It ships with a compiled version for windows and linux 32bits.

To get it work on your machine you'll need to compile it from the sources. This is not so difficult, if you're a bit used to library compilation under linux.

Download this file:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/portmedia/portmidi/200/portmidi-src-200.zip?use_mirror=sunet

Then compile and install the library. Instructions are in the readme file of the linux dir. This is based on cmake. Probably typing cmake in a term should be enough. To install it's probably cmake install. I cannot test this now.

Once you compiled and installed the portmidi lib, you have to compile and install the python bindings. This is easier. Go into pm-python and type: sudo python setup.py install . This should be enough.

Let me know if you face problems. If you succeed to compile the python binding for 64 bit, I'll be able to include it in serial-pyio so that others do not have to redo it.

Hopefully there will be one day ubuntu packages for this.

Good luck,

Jul
