i'm having similar troubles. in my previous version of pd (ext-0.38.4, still the one that's on the pd website, so officially the official release of extended, though everybody seems to be using 0.39?), there were a lot of libs included that are not in 0.39.2-test5 for mac osx. also a lot of help files are missing. am i supposed to just check what's missing in 39 and drag 'em in there from 38 (risking objects / abs with the same names or overwriting things), or is there a pd-ext that has it all, iow am i just using the wrong release? help would be much appreciated, as i'd love starting to learn things that rely on objects / abs that are now missing (eg memento). cheers, robbert

Hi All,
I have downloaded the package: Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5.dmg from hans page (http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html). I have copiied the org.data.pd.pdlist into my preferences. I have also draged the pd apps into my application folder. When I now try to run a gem patch, I do receive a couple of errors, which indicates to me, that pd cannot find the gem application (or at least I assume this...) The errors look like the following:
you are right, pd cannot find Gem (and if we want to nit-pick, Gem is a library and not an application; you can use it to build applitcations)
i don't know whether Gem is included in the release of pd-extended. (check the README, or try to locate a Gem.pd_darwin in the pd-extended application) try creating an object [Gem] to see whether pd can load it. watch the console for any warnings (run pd with the "-verbose" flag for better information). if you can load it this way, you might want to add it manually to the libraries to be loaded at startup.
if Gem is not part of your specific pd-extended release, either get a fresh one from http://autobuild.puredata.info (if you are brave and feel like beta-testing) or get the Gem-binary fron http://gem.iem.at (most likely you want the OSX bin-doc package)
