Sorry, I didn’t see this message! No, I used Deken to install zexy, then opened a zexy help file. I assumed that that would work, and apparently it doesn’t, but that seems to be a specification issue colliding with an unfounded assumption. Creating [declare -lib zexy] before trying to load a zexy external does indeed cause zexy to work, so thank you. I apologize that I didn’t know this requirement, but I almost never use externals, except occasionally my own.
So, the issue now seems to be that my own externals, and those of a friend who compiled his on macos in 2018 (and which I was using earlier this week in Pd 0.50-2), would neither load nor initiate an OS security prompt of any sort in Pd 0.51-0test2. For some still-inexplicable reason, my externals started working again in both of these versions of Pd after building and loading a newly-created external. macOS Catalina 10.15.4.
