[sc-users] getting started on linux

[Atte André Jensen]

Hi

I'm trying to get sc (grabbed and installed from svn) running under 
linux. Well actually it kind of works. The following works:

atte at ajstrup:~/software/supercollider/SuperCollider3/build$ sclang 
../linux/examples/onetwoonetwo.sc

If I start emacs like this "emacs -sclang" and paste the following into 
to Workspace

s.boot;
{SinOsc.ar(440,0,0.3)}.play

I can C-c,C-c (execute it line by line) and hear sound. However if I 
select both lines and do C-c,C-x I get no sound. Also if I run "sclang 
sine_test.sc" (where sine_test.sc contains the above) I get the messages 
below (but no sound). Should I be worried about the Zeroconf error? 
Shouldn't I be able to start the scsynth once somehow and run "sclang 
sine_test2.sc", where sine_test2.sc contains only:

{SinOsc.ar(440,0,0.3)}.play

It might be early in the learning process to ask questions like this, 
but it just seems to me that a behavior like this (starting server once, 
running sclang on code) would be a logical way of working, and also the 
documentation hints at this being the way sc is working under mac.

Hope someone would be kind enough to enlighten me...
