Hi all

I just tried current Gem build, which seems to use shared libraries for certain tasks. After installing everything with 'make install', I launched 'pd -lib Gem' and tried [pix_video], which gave me:

load plugins 'video' in '' pattern : /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/Gem/gem_video*.so error: [pix_video]: no video backends found! ... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu.

Those missing files were actually installed to /usr/lib/, so either Gem should look there or those files should be installed to /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/Gem/, I suppose. Or did I something wrong when installing?

I temporarily worked-around the loading problem by symlinking those gem_".so files to /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/Gem.

for now they are obviously expected to live besides Gem (e.g. in /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/Gem/).

the "install" target of the plugins has not been updated to this destination yet (i'm not sure about the best way to do it)
