I would suggest installing it to a different location, something like Documents/pd-externals or whatever. I'm using the default Pd "documents path" in ~/Documents/externals.

Yes, that’s the one that I quoted. The path that deken added to pd is this one:

/Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/../extra/pdlua

So, I am assuming that this the location that I dowloaded PdLua to?!? This is also the location where the patch pdlua-help.pd is that I opened to produce the messages.

Aha, this looks better!

There is nothing odd being reported at startup. When I try to open the patch

/Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/pdlua-help.pd

then there is an object called “help" that is not found.

Pd lists that it is trying to unsuccessfully load a set of files

tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.d_fat and failed
tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.pd_darwin and failed

It repeats this pattern in many more folders. I don’t seem to have any of these files. I only have the following:

/Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.pd_lua
/Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.pd_luax

Run it directly from within the app:

  /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -verbose

or simply set the Verbose checkbox in Preferences->Path... and restart Pd.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for trying! I’m on Mac OS X 10.11.6.

I’ve played around with the 32 and 64 versions of pd, and the outcome is always the same: (Apart from the very first try) the libraries are downloaded and deken adds the paths to pd correctly. All libraries that I’ve tried work apart from PdLua.

I haven’t managed to start pd in verbose mode. I’ve tried something like this (with variations)

open -a Pd-0.48-1.app --args -verbose

but I’m getting the error

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app with error -10810.

This seems to suggest an issue with the access rights, but those appear to be ok.

This call

open -a Pd-0.48-1.app

works.

Am I making a mistake here?

Best,
Jens

I just installed it and the library is loading for me on 10.13 with 0.48-1. I let Deken add the path for me and was able to create a [pdlua] object directly. Do you have any other settings or paths which might be conflicting? You could run Pd in verbose mode to see how it's looking for pdlua.

I'm also running the 32 bit Pd, although the external is built for 32 and 64 bit, so it should work on either.

Hello everyone,

I used the latest pre-compiled vanilla distribution from https://puredata.info/downloads/pure-data .

I then installed a few externals according to the official instructions using "Help -> Find externals” inside pd. It worked well for iemlib and iemnet.

I didn’t get an error message when installing PdLua. The according files were indeed downloaded to my computer. Interestingly, the path to PdLua was not added automatically to the pd path list. It was added for iemlib and iemnet though.

Even if I add the path to PdLua manually, no Lua objects inside my pd patches are being recognised. Even not in the PdLua help files.

I’d be grateful for any ideas!

Greets,
Jens
