Jeremy, chuck --loop binds to TCP port 8888, and subsequent chuck +/-/=/etc. commands communicate with the chuck --loop process through that port. Windows XP SP2's firewall blocks binding to pretty much any non-Windows-related ports by default, so at the very least you will need to to unblock port 8888 for ChucK. In a lab PC situation I highly recommend restricting port 8888 access to only localhost connections. chuck --loop should still work in this case. Changing firewall settings does require admin access, though. spencer Quoting Jeremy Hunt :

Yes,

Only when I am a generic user...As an admin it works fine. Also, just normal "chuck foo.ck" works fine it is just the interactive chuck that is crashing. The problem is that the computer lab admin doesn't want everyone logged in as admins :P So I need to find away to grant permission for chuck --loop to run for underprivileged accounts--that is why I am wondering what communication protocol chuck uses to pass the "chuck + ..." to the chuck --loop. It is a bit annoying to be stuck using a PC lab but that is what I have...

cheers,

Hi All,

I am trying to use ChucK to teach a digital audio synthesis class. The class is taught in a PC lab with winxp (I have little experience with winxp). My question, is it possible to run chuck --loop from under privileged accounts? My tests end up crashing chuck (same with miniAudicle) when I chuck + foo.ck to a looped chuck. What protocol does chuck use to communicate from one terminal to the next when using --loop? Any help on steps to get this running would be much appreciated.

I haven't done much chucking under windows, but I happened to be logged into an XP machine so I downloaded chuck 1.2.1.1 off the web site and tried 'chuck --loop' in a cygwin window, and 'chuck + demo1.ck' in another window. It seemed to work fine...

You're not running 64-bit or anything like that? Oh, I just realized I'm running as a developer so I have full priviledges on this machine. Maybe not so helpful then. Does it only crash for you when you are in an underpriviledged account?
