You need to do [import hexloader] first, then those objects will create.
Why isn't hexloader enabled by default ?
It was causing a lot of problems. Check the archives for details.
Actually, I can't get hexloader to work. It seems to have no effect.
I can't instantiate [mtx_+] without first instantiating [mtx_add], which is the same class.
There are pd-extended users who recompile zexy and iemmatrix as big libraries because the system of one-class-per-file of pd-extended doesn't work with those names and the filesystems. It's causing a lot of problems.
Yeah, there have been some troubles. In the case of iemmatrix: most of the aliases were missing completely, so even with hexloader loaded, Pd-extended wouldn't find the correct files. I created a patch that adds all missing aliases for iemmatrix and IOhannes committed it two days ago [1]. I guess you would need to try a current autobuild to be able to create [mtx_+] directly. The rc3 version was released before the patch was applied.
Regarding zexy, I am not aware of any troubles in Pd-extended. Please post bugs, if you find any. I guess we're not far away from the libdirs behaving similar to the original multi-object library format. I personally care most about zexy and iemmatrix, I haven't checked if other libraries also require aliases.

@ Hans You said you removed hexloader from automatically being loaded, because there have been some troubles in the past. The reason could be found in the list archives. I haven't thoroughly checked everything about hexloader, but it seemed to me that most problems have been solved. If not, can you elaborate a bit the issue? Personally, I think it would help _a lot_ to make Pd patches portable between flavours, if hexloader would be loaded automaticall on start-up of Pd-extended. Please let me know, if you think it is not worth raising this discussion again.
