[chuck-users] chuck-users Digest, Vol 47, Issue 24

Thanks Kas, And Andrew.
I have an understanding of the Terminal. So that is not my problem. My
problem is that when I try run chuck from the Terminal, I don't get
anything, even when I try run a file ( >chuck foo.ck).

But when I run the file in miniAudicle, it runs fine.

When I am in the Treminal, and I type >Chuck (Thanks for spotting the > kas,
was putting it there to represent the prompt). I dont get
the [chuck]: no input files.... message.

It just goes to another prompt, so I don't know if it is working correctly
in the Terminal

eg I get this:

matchbox$ chuck
matchbox$

If I log in under sudo, it does the same thing:

sh-3.2# chuck
sh-3.2#

Then if I try run the foo.ck file, I don't get anything, but when I run it
in  miniAudilce, it runs fine.

On the Mac, you can drag the file into the Terminal, and it gives the
correct location to run the ck file, so I know it is pointing to the right
path.

p.s. here is the link to the Ge Wang vid I saw on the Apple site. Nice
video. Really inspired me to try this application out

http://www.apple.com/pro/profiles/slork/

Looks like they are using the
Terminal. I like it how they are using the trackpad and motion sensors
on the Macbook, to generate different sounds. I just got a Macbook Pro
3 days ago, and am rwally excited about trying the motion sensors and
trackpad with Chuck.
