Thanks for this.
Yeah, I forgot to mention that I also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to the correct directory. I hope not to have to use dynamic loading in the code, particularly since I want this to work on Windows eventually as well.

Maybe set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the directory containing your 3rd party .so before starting Pd.
Or rewrite your extern to use dlopen() dlsym() etc (which would be a pain if your .so has a lot of symbols you need to reference).
posted to the Pd console when I load the extern. The library is linking properly in my makefile (as far as I can tell) and the .so file that I want the extern to load is in the same folder as the extern.
