Hi Laura

Open up the terminal window and login if necessary

Type this:

cd /Users/lauratolson/Documents/uni\ work/Computing\ for\ audio/chuck-1.2.0.8-exe/bin/

Now open a text editor and copy n paste this:

Blit s => dac; while(10::ms=>now) Math.fabs(Math.tan(now/samp))*10 => s.freq;

Now save the document but not as an RTF (TEST.ck) in the same path as the above folder. In fact if I remember correctly it should be any option apart from an rtf.

Go back to the terminal window and type

chuck TEST.ck

If you get some sound then all is good, if not let me know.

If you're still stuck then phone me tommorow as I'm off to bed now.

Rhys (If you hadnt guessed by now)

PS. Thats off the top of my head and I'm sleepy n dont have my mac with me.

ok well i can only save as word format, RTH, HTML or word XML format and it doesnt seem to like RTH,HTML or word XML im guessing it wont like word since i dont have word.

and all the terminal is saying is no such file or directory

and command not found.

do you think its gonna be easier to do this on the pc laptop?

This seems to be a very special kind of problem on a computer that's either Linux or OSX?

If file-extention is the issue; I don't think ChucK cares about it. You can save your code as test.txt and run "chuck test.txt" so I imagine you could run "chuck test.doc" as well *as long as there is only chuck code in the actual file*.

Another thing is that everything would be way easier if you could copy (cp) the executable to /usr/bin/ but if you have limited priviliges then that might be a issue because that's a dir for which you'll need root-level access.

To me this sounds like the text editor used is not a text editor but a word processor ... when it saves something as a word document it'll probably do that in some word format as well, meaning a lot of extra markup info gets packed into the file. RTF, the same, XML the same, etc. Using some basic text editor should solve that.

But maybe I read it wrong ...
