This actually happened to a friend of mine :-D. > won't [declare cyclone] force a priority of it over iemlib? If not, shouldn't it? now, for related discussions on declare/standard paths, see https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/205 & https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/183 cheers, happy 2018
