Sorry for attaching the pics. Will avoid this in the future.

Julian, you are right, I have not compiled it. I did not know how to do this. When I navigate to the directory that I have unzipped the files ("home/pi/pd-externals/gpio") and then type "make" it prints the following:

cc -DPD -O2 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing
-Wall -W -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused -Wno-parentheses
-Wno-switch  -I../pd/src -I../../pd/src -I../../../pd/src
-I../../../../pd/src -I../../../../../pd/src -m32 -o gpio.o -c gpio.c
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-m32’
make: *** [gpio.l_i386] Error 1

Do you know what this error message could mean? What should I expect as the output from compiling like this? Not sure what I should be looking for. I did notice that this output looks like what is listed in the "makefile.include" that is in the root directory of the zipped archive ("pi-externs.tgz").

The joy of understatement.

Josh,

sounds like you haven't compiled the external yet.

My memory (and I'm guessing here, don't have a Pi to confirm atm) is this: from the command line

cd (change directory) to the gpio folder (wherever you've put it on the pI)

and type 'make'.  Check the command line doesn't spit any errors and in theory there should be a gpio external sat in the gpio folder at the end of it.

Maybe you've done this already and it's compiled happily?

In that case you need to tell Pd where the external is - a good place to put it would be in the 'externals' folder.  puredata.info is your friend here.

Regards,

Julian

for the future, would you mind posting the *text* of the error message
into your mail, rather than creating a snapshot?
it allows users who read their emails in text-based mail readers to
understand your question and eventually answer it.
also it does not waste bandwidth for no extra information...

what's the content of gpio.l_i386?
what does "ls -l gpio.l_i386" show?
what does "ldd gpio.l_i386" show?

the main problem you have, is that the object does not create (dashed
border), so it doesn't do anything.
apart from that, how does your screenshot differ from the original
help-patch?
i'm not very familiar with the specific help-patch, but i do know a
bit of Pd, and might be able to help if i could understand the problem.
