Ok so I am trying to add all the paths to Pd Extended libraries. I would
hate to have to add them as absolute path, such as "C:\Program
Files\pd\extra\zexy", or even "%programfiles%\pd\extra\zexy", because
then I can't move or the Pd folder without breaking it.
How can I add them as relative to Pd's paths? Is it possible at all?
I tried with "..\extra\zexy" and "extra\zexy" but neither works.
(zexy is only an example obviously, the same holds for all other libraries)
thanks

Hi,
The short version: I fresh-installed Pd Extended into the default
location (C:\Program Files\pd) and I get:
cyclone: can't load library
zexy: can't load library
creb: can't load library
....
and so on for EVERY library except Gem. The strange thing is that Gem
does load, and it is located in pd/extra just like all other libraries.
This is really crazy isn't it?
What can be wrong?
The long version:
I had already installed Pd Extended and it used to work fine. It was
installed in an "unusual" location: "D:/programmi/pd_extended", where
"programmi" is the italian word for "programs" but it is _not_ the
default directory for programs in my computer (who speaks spanish, not
italian).
When I installed it, I had to manually modify the "pd-settings.reg" file
that adds the libraries to startup, because it uses the wrong location
for the registry keys (this has nothing to do with the path where Pd is
installed). After that, I had Pd Extended working fine and loading all
libraries.
Also, I have Pd Vanilla installed in another directory,
"D:\programmi\pd". I run it using the "-noprefs" option, because
otherwise, it would (try to) load the libraries from pd Extended.
Today, misteriously and without (apparently) touching anything, Pd
Extended stopped working, that is it started giving me "cannot load
library" messages.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to the same directory with no
luck. So I uninstalled and reinstalled again, this time to the default
location C:\Program Files\pd (note disk C which is where the OS is
installed, and "Program Files" is the actual system Program Files
directory, which is displayed as "Archivos de Programa").
However the result is the same: "cannot load library" for all libraries
except Gem.
The Gem it is loading is actually the one installed inside the
C:\Program Files\pd\extra\Gem directory, which is the same path where
all other libraries are located too. I know it because if I rename that
gem.dll file, it won't load.
Please help!
thanks
m.
