I know this has probably often been debated but...
I can't seem to understand the logic for which [import] fails with an error
e.g.:
[import]: ERROR: can't load library in monlib
and doesn't for others.
This is on debian with libraries installed from respective packages, and are
all in /usr/lib/pd/extra
I may be missing something about the behaviour of [import] but the apparently
herratic behaviour makes understanding this hard.
Of course all the libs could be imported by prefixing them such as
[osc/packOSC] but then opening the help patch won't find [udpsend] which should
then be [iemnet/udpsend] etc. having a single [import iemnet osc] would make
much more sense. If it worked.
You can include all the libraries you want in a single import statement, that's
the preferred way to do it, i.e. [import moonlib motex Gem osc]
Now that you've fixed the typo, what's the error?
As I said this seems to be erratic - at least to me for the moment - so
for moonlib specifically e.g.
[import]: ERROR: can't load library in moonlib
Same goes e.g. for osc.
On the other hand if I try to import Gem [import Gem] it works.
One interesting thing i "discovered" for the errors mentioned above is
that if I also import (before) libdir they work. Maybe this is the
requirement I wasn't understanding about the import process?
[import libdir moonlib osc]
gives:
libdir loader 1.9
compiled on Jul 21 2011 at 03:17:08
compiled against Pd version 0.43.0.
[import] loaded library: libdir
[import] loaded library: moonlib
[import] loaded library: osc
Ciao
Lorenzo.
PS: BTW I wouldn't have started a thread based on a single error with a
typo although I can see it might have been misleading ;)
