(Trying for the n-th time to write to the list)

Hi to all,
First some warnings:

i) I've used csound extensively on win but it's two years I'm on 
macosx, so I'm up to date to 4.23
ii) never used csound form command line but always from winsound 
(thanks John)
iii) never used csound for real time

While I was trying do define my strategy for my course in computer 
music, I took a look to Cabel, which seemed the
right man in the right place to replace CPS/PD, thus unifying my real 
time GUI examples with csound coding.

I installed following all the instructions. Cabel started, I opened a 
patch, it was ok, but  I wasn't able to hear anything. I guessed it 
depended on
csound 5 installation or real time use (two things I've never paid 
attention to), so I closed all and went to take a look. Actually I was 
able to play thru dac a nice sinewave calling csound from cmd. I was 
happy of it.
I went back to Cabel, but it crashed when I launched it,  and still it 
is crashing every time . Python raises an exception related to a 
missing file. Cabel log file follows.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Andrea,

I have Cabel working on OS X only up to the point that it initializes 
the window. Csound will also run but for some reason it is impossible 
to create modules visually (they show up the in csd though). I suspect 
it is related to the Carbon framework's discrepancy between something 
in Python and itself.

I have used and configured Cabel for WinXP, Linux, and Mac OS X and 
according to http://cabel.sourceforge.net/ , it is officially supported 
on WinXP and Linux only at present time.

Thanks David,

Sorry, due to this mailing bizarre trouble, I've not been clear at all.
I'm on macosx mainly, but I installed Cabel on win2k. My students are 
in fact on win machines
So, my problem is related to win 2k.

(But you made very interesting observation about cabel/osx connection, 
indeed)

perhaps Python doesn't know about Csound ? Is C:\Program Files\Csound 
or wherever you installed Csound in your PYTHON_PATH ?
