Hi all,
I'm a newbie to pd, and I'm having probs with externals in os x. I have a bunch of externals in PD_DIR/extra/, all with the extension ".pd_darwin", but when I try to use one of these externals by creating an object and then typing the name of the external into it (without the extension of course), I get a "couldn't create" err msg. usually i start pd with only -rt as the flags; do I need additional flags or something? Do I have to somehow configure pd to look in a particular directory for externals? Do I have to do anything like a chmod +x to the externals? TIA.
Phil
