Installation January 2001 of Linux PVC  version 3.0 by A.S.:

Problems with Linux version of PVC 3.0:
(1) reshape needs correct glibc file -- if it doesnt find this
it doesn't compile properly (although make doesn't complain)
and you get a seg fault error whenever using reshape
The version compiled under RH 7.0 seemed to work, but not the version compiled
under RH 6.0
When I tried to compile reshape alone under RH 6.2, it gave a seg
fault and a core dump even though PVC make did not complain.
 
(2) inharmonator is broken in the Linux version -- it dfumps core
and aborts right away

(3) envelope looks in /usr/lib for the file libcsound.so 
We had this file in /usr/local but envelope coulnd't find it. So
I moved to /usr/lib and made a link:
  ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcsound.so libcsound.so
Also, we had another program called "envelope" in /usr/local/bin
(I don't remember what it does or where it came from). So I had to edit
the envelope.template file to point explicitly to /usr/local/soundapps/PVC/bin/envelope

(4) Pitchtracker is broken on Linux -- it runs, but does not write
to an output file, and dumps core

(5) CHORDMAPPER:
chordmapper is VERY fussy about file definitions commented out with *
it often gives the error message "insufficient data"  and aborts -- but
sometimes the job will start and just hang
Best not to include any old func definitions for chordmapfile
There must be NO SPACE between the * comment symbol and the beginning of the
function definition that is commented out:
*8.00   1       8.00    0       1       -0 1.    0          0       0       0       0  \
is okay but the line below
* 8.00   1       8.00    0       1       -0 1.    0          0       0       0       0  \
will cause the job to hang.
You don't need to use tabs; this is also ok:
 7.00   1  7.03 0  1  -0 1.  0  0   0  0   0  \
You cannot omit any of the 12 arguments, like this:
 7.00   1  7.03 0  1  -0 1.   0 0  0 \
This will cause a INSUFFICIENT DATA FILE error.

When CHORDMAPPER doesn't like some values in the func file it tends
to hang, just sitting there without creating any samples
Cordmapper can be EXTREMELY slow, especially before creating the first
group of samples.
