Hi,

I have just installed Csound 5.08 on my Linux machine. The following minimal
CSD file:

results in the error messages:

===========================

This did not happen with 5.06. I have just trashed 5.08 and installed 5.07
and I don't have this problem!

Hi Steven,

I am running UbuntuStudio  version 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), but I do not have
the Ubuntu Csound package installed - it has been purged from my system.

I installed Csound from Csound5.08-i386d.tar.gz, which I downloaded from
sourceforge using its custom installer. I then tried out
Csound5.08-i386f.tar.gz and got the same problem. I then tried
Csound5.07-i386d.tar.gz and everything worked OK! Up to yesterday I was
using Csound 5.06 (installed from Csound5.06-i386d.tar.gz and did not have
this problem.

I first noticed the problem when trying to render a blue project, so I took
the CSD file that blue generated and cut it down to a minimal csd file that
still produces the problem when processed by Csound. I had included the text
of the csd in my original message, but I will see if I can attach it in
Nabble - presumably "upload file" works!

I can't see how the problem can arise from the way I have set up Csound, as
I did the same thing for each version (except for setting OPCODEDIR instead
of  OPCODEDIR64 for the float vesion).

I suspect the problem has something to do with localization. There is
definitely something fishy going on as the installer for 5.08 puts the line:

export /usr/local/share/locale=/usr/local/csound/plugins64

into the shell script that calls Csound! This explains the error message:

/usr/local/bin/csound: line 2: export:
 `/usr/local/share/locale=/usr/local/csound/plugins64': not a valid 
identifier 

Thanks
Bernard
