Thanks Dan, I tried editing the file as you suggested, doing a make clean and make. (see attached) but no luck so far. Best regards, Nick

The binary for external readanysf~ crashes PD Vanilla on my MacbookPro running mojave. osx 10.14. The crash occurs as soon as I try to load a media file (mp.3 for example)

I thought it might be worth trying to compile it from source to see if that worked, so I’ve succesfully installed gavl and gmerllin-avdecoder from fink, edited the readanysf~ makefile to correct the path to my m_pd.h file as follows…

PD_INCLUDES=/Applications/Pd.app/Contents/Resources/src/

typing make gives the following error:
