Hi, all of my paths are absolute. There are in /usr/bin/puredata. <br>Do you think it could be that /usr/ isn&#39;t mounted yet when Pd is launched by rc.local?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/1/24 <a href="mailto:padawan12@obiwannabe.co.uk">padawan12@obiwannabe.co.uk</a> <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:padawan12@obiwannabe.co.uk" target="_blank">padawan12@obiwannabe.co.uk</a>&gt;</span><br>

    Hi,
    <br>
    <br>I&#39;m trying to get Pd to run at startup. I&#39;ve put the command in /etc/rc.local.
    <br>Everything works fine, except that Pd seems to be unable to search the paths I specified (either in .pdsettings or directly in the command line). I&#39;m trying to use a patch with the reverb described in the audio examples (G.08 I think), and there&#39;s an abstraction in it which lives in 3.audio.examples. 
    <br> Every time I boot Pd starts all right, but I get errors because it can&#39;t create the abstraction.
    <br>
    <br>It&#39;s a bit weird because the very same command works like a charm once i&#39;ve logged in.
    <br>
