Message “cause called with bad routine address”

2012-07-12T07:43:56Z

Following the NyQuist MIDI Tutorial, step by step, I ended with an abnormal program termination with a message saying “cause called with bad routine address: 0x808e4ed”.

Step to reproduce.

Copy the attached MIDI file in a directory.
Open a console in that directory.
Start the NY interpreter.

Run this in turn:

(setf my-seq (seq-create))
(type-of my-seq)
(setf midi-file (open-binary "demo.mid"))
(seq-read-smf my-seq midi-file)
(close midi-file)
(setf midi-file (open-binary "copy.mid" :direction :output))
(seq-write-smf my-seq midi-file)

There, the “copy.mid” file should be a copy of the scores contained in “demo.mid”, which is 1601 bytes long, but “copy.mid” is only 37 bytes long, NY exits and I get the error “cause called with bad routine address: 0x808e4ed”.

PortAudio version problems

2009-07-11T15:11:37Z

PortAudio as distributed with Nyquist does not function. The version distributed is out of date and should be upgraded to the latest stable version. Compilation of Nyquist against the latest stable version functions correctly. Nyquist also functions correctly when compiled against a system wide install of PortAudio (on Mandriva Linux , others?).
