Pd-extended compiles libraries as libdirs, which cannot be loaded as libraries by Pd-vanilla (nor by Pd-extended i think): in order to load them as a library,l you have to use a special loader libdir, which of course has to be loaded before trying to load any libdirized library. libloadliblidirlib. or you could us explicit namespaces, like [zexy/abs~]; but of course, then your patch won't work anymore with nonlibdirized libraries.

[PD] How to add relative paths - was: Re: Extended can't load any library except Gem on Windows Vista
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 m. Matteo Sisti Sette escribió: 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. -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistise...@gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
