It works for me as well, the only thing I noticed on my system is that by doing it that way (Aykut's way), the help browser gets messy : externals help files gets duplicated, they appear both in the help browser's "root" folder and in their respective external's subfolder. That made me wonder if it really was the good way to do it.

Also I remember that at one point it was mentioned that the best practice was to declare external folders in the patch and we somehow where encouraged to do that. Is that the recommended way of doing things with pd-vanilla right now?

Thanks everybody!

Hey Martin,

that's what I did and it worked
- in my system, deken has downloaded selected lib (say maxlib) into ~/Library/Pd
- and then go to Preferences>Path and add the directory of the lib you've downloaded
- click apply
- and create the object say |maxlib/average|
