I am using Macpup528, the save file is on my Seagate External drive. I attempted to install audacity-1.3.12-lucid525, from Quickpet.

My screen went black, and my curser froze. I could do nothing! Then I turned off my computer to reboot. No files were left on my external drive.

I plugged it into my laptop. Ubuntu couldn't read any files on that drive. I then switched over to Windows XP. It couldn't read the drive either and said it was corrupted. I had to perform scandisk and it recovered all my folders (documents, pictures etc). The only thing that was missing was my macpup528 save file.

I then plugged it into my desktop and had to begin from scratch.

I have uploaded a macpup version of audacity. It is in the macpup528 folder on my macpup page. Give that a try.

Thank you so very much. I installed it and it works great! Do you have any idea why I had trouble with the one from the Quickpet installer?

I was up to 3:00AM in the morning, starting from 'scratch'. Now I have copied the save file to a 32 GB flash drive for backup.

The reason that happened is that the lucid.pet has several libs that macpup already has preinstalled. If those libs are in use when the install happens macpup kind of flips out. I don't know why it does that, it just does. We have seen this before, that is why I had to build a macpup high xorg .pet and a ATi.pet . There is now way I can check every .pet out before hand. I just fix it when it happens.
