iohannes, thanks for the quick reply

i guess the first thing is that you should remove the ".pd_darwin" from the -lib flag: "-lib Gem.pd_darwin" will try to load "Gem.pd_darwin.pd_darwin" (on osX; on linux it would be Gem.pd_darwin.pd_linux)
ooops - that's not what it should do....
i've tried double quotes, same result is there a way to make pd accept a path with a space in the name???
this problem is rather with your operating system. try to escape the space like "Application\ Support"
this looks to me like max-message style escape codes instead of OS syntax in any case, just tried this: -lib "/Library/Application\ Support/Pd/Gem" and it renders the error: "/Library/Application\: can't load library
the path in the terminal is "/Library/Application Support/Pd/" (___with "") cd "/Library/Application Support/Pd/" in the terminal gets me there. with a .pdrc that looks like this: -lib "/Library/Application Support/Pd/Gem" the error is: "/Library/Application: can't load library
any other suggestions? i could of course always move everything into a path that doesn't have a space in the name, but i would prefer to have it installed in Application Support as that is where it belongs...
thanks again
