hi i think it depends on where pd itself is: if it's in /usr/local/bin it will check /usr/local/lib/pd/extra, but if it's in /usr/bin it will look in /usr/lib/pd/extra. just add /usr/local/lib/pd/extra to your path and it will always be checked. m Chuckk Hubbard schreef: > BTW, I also tried [declare] with an absolute path, naming "-lib > comport" specifically, and it wouldn't load. > > On 11/5/06, Chuckk Hubbard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hello. >> I'm once again trying to control my school's Moog with Pd, this time >> going with the serial port on my new laptop. >> I downloaded and compiled the [comport] external.
