Hello list.

 

I'm having problems getting PD running comfortably.  The easiest way, in my opinion, for someone trying to learn PD is to open existing patches that are similar, or use the same objects, as the patch they are trying to build.  I've been quite frustrated because it seems that most of the patches that I open won't work on my system.  This is obviously my fault.  I probably don't have files/patches/externals in their right places.  I think the biggest obstacle, for beginners, is getting PD setup correctly and to get everything running smoothly.  I mean, the main installation of PD isn't the problem....it's when you start to dig in to other patches and externals outside of the initial installation....anyway, I'm rambling....I just think that PD's momentum as a growing community might be a little stronger if these basic things were ironed out....okay, off of my soap box!

 

Can someone give me some help with the following errors?:
