Linux installation

[tjingboem]

In my Linux system, I copied the CsoundAC files over as Linux release from mentionedhttps://github.com/gogins/csound-ac/releases mentions. This is version 5 from March 20th. Then sudo ldconfig

After that i copy the ac-reaper.py file to ~/config/REAPER/Scripts
In the Actions window form Reaper, a Python file, unlike lua or eel is not seen. So i switch to All Files and doubleclick ac-reaper.py

First: i am unsure if CsoundAC is installed correctly
Second: what should be done in the script so that CsoundAC runs within Reaper?

[tjingboem]

i just now added a PYTHONPATH
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages
and copied CsoundAC.py to that place
did not work

From the terminal i run python:

tjingboem@tjingboemKOMP ~ $ python
Python 3.12.3 (main, Nov  6 2024, 18:32:19) [GCC 13.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import _CsoundAC
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_CsoundAC'
>>> 

I am pretty sure some files are not in their correct places.

First, right now there is a binary release of CsoundAC only for macOS and only for Python 3.12. If you build CsoundAC yourself, you need to make a note of which Python is used. You can run python3, python3.12, etc., and see which version of Python will succeed in importing CsoundAC. Second, you need to make sure that Reaper uses that specific version of Python. There is a Reaper setting for that: [image: image.png] I hope you attend the Zoom meeting tomorrow.

So the development build from https://github.com/gogins/csound-ac/releases
does not work?

It does have the same version number as the MacOS one.

My Python version is Python 3.12.3

Yes, i am planning to attend the Zoom tomorrow

[gogins]

I'm talking about the Python version number, not the CsoundAC version number. What operating system are you using?

i see you are replying via mail, not via Github i have written more information via Github but that will not show up via the mail. And the image you posted does not show, it is a screenshot of Reaper i presume. So i will start using the mail for a resumé.

CsoundAC consists of two files, a native shared library _CsoundAC.so (on Linux, .dlyd on macOS) and a Python file. Both of these files should be in the site-packages directory for the correct version of Python, which must be the version against which the .so file was built. On my MacBook Pro, these files are: /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.12/site-packages/CsoundAC.py /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.12/site-packages/_CsoundAC.so To test the installation, I go to the command line and run Python, then I manually import CsoundAC. If I try with the wrong version of Python, I get an error: ***@***.*** ~ % python3 Python 3.13.1 (main, Dec 3 2024, 17:59:52) [Clang 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.4)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>> import CsoundAC

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module> import CsoundAC ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'CsoundAC' If I try with the correct version of Python, there is no error: ***@***.*** ~ % python3.12 Python 3.12.8 (main, Dec 3 2024, 18:42:41) [Clang 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.4)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>> import CsoundAC >>

Then in Reaper, I ensure that the Python version used for ReaScript is the same as the Python version that successfully imports CsoundAC: [image: image.png] The key here is that Reaper says "libpython3.12.dylib is installed". On Linux, that would be libpython3.12.so. You need to find where that library is on your system, and copy the full pathname of that file into the "Custom path" field here. Of course on your Linux machine the version of Python could be 3.9, 3.10 3.11, or whatever. I don't recall any more what version of Python it was, but I think you can find out by executing "ldd _CsoundAC.so" (fill pathname of _CsoundAC.so will be required) and seeing what Python library has been linked with CsoundAC. Sorry this is so complex.... Best, Mike

Thanks for your elaborate reply. Yes, it is complex. I'd like to cut this up into little steps to see where things go wrong. First little step:

I did not build anything. Should I? In the instructions on https://github.com/gogins/csound-ac i read this: There are prebuilt binary releases for this package available at https://github.com/gogins/csound-ac/releases. So i was glad that there are binary releases and chose from https://github.com/gogins/csound-ac/releases the Linux Development Release. This is from March but is has the same release number 0.50 as the Mac release. Although the Mac release is from November. Is this not the Linux build i should use?

a few days ago i copied _CsoundAC.so and CsoundAC.py over to several locations- among them to
/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages

I do not have other Python versions installed.

This is what happens:

tjingboem@tjingboemKOMP ~ $ python3.12
Python 3.12.3 (main, Nov  6 2024, 18:32:19) [GCC 13.2.0] on linux

>>> import CsoundAC
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/CsoundAC.py", line 15, in <module>
    import _CsoundAC
ImportError: libpython3.10.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>>> 

[gogins]

This means that your _CsoundAC.so shared library was linked to libpython3.10.so.1.0. If you install Python3.10, install CsoundAC in Python3.10's site-packages, and run python3.10 it should work.

i do not have libpython3.10.so.1.0 on my computer.
I do have libpython3.12.so.1.0

Is there something in _CsoundAC.so that i can change to make it point to libpython3.12.so.1.0 ?

[gogins]

No, except for recompiling CsoundAC. However, you can have several versions of Python installed on your computer at the same time. If you really want this to work, install Python 3.10.
