nyquist broken

Post by dflowenfels » Wed Jun 15, 2011 10:08 pm

audacity 1.3.13-beta (fresh install)
Mac OS 10.6.7 intel (very un-fresh install)

When I run pluck (with the default parameters), it returns a single data
point rather than a waveform: "Nyquist returned the value 0.000001"
When I debug it, it says nyquist output: "error: unbound function - PEAK"
It appears that the peak macro is defined in nyquist.lsp. Somehow nyquist
isn't getting bootstrapped properly?

I hope to get nyquist working so I can use the plugins.

Thanks!

I don't know why this should happen - this is the first reported case of this problem on the forum, but there was one similar case (also on Mac OSX) with Audacity 1.3.12, though that was a the function (db-to-linear) that was reported to undefined.

It would be good to get to the bottom of this issue, so I hope you are willing to help dig out the root of the problem.
Do other Nyquist effects work on your machine?
Are you reasonably adept with computers?

Did you download the version "OS X 10.4 or later (Universal Binary): Audacity 1.3.13 (.dmg file, 22.5 MB, including help files)"?
How exactly did you install it (and where)?
Did you encounter any unusual issues during the installation?
Do you know anything about Nyquist programming, or using the "Nyquist Prompt" effect?
Anything else that you can think of that might relate to this problem?
