Hi Jakob
I'm not IOhannes, but I'll answer anyway.

But when I add a "-lib mrpeach" in the command line preferences, I always get "mrpeach: can't load library"
Yes, because the mrpeach library doesn't contain a binary named mrpeach. In case of mrpeach, it is sufficient to just add the path. Preferably, you add the path with [declare -path mrpeach] in your patch, rather than in the Pd configuration. This makes your patch more portable.
on startup. But I can still create objects from it. I mean, I can use the objects, but I don't get an overall init-message on startup, which makes me think that someting is not set correctly.
You don't see a message, because no external is loaded at start up (only the path is added). This is unlike the zexy library, which comes with a zexy binary and which prints something to the console when loaded. However, from what I understand, if a specific external prints a message at load time is purely optional. So that is not necessarily an indicator.
Also, pd seems not to be able to find the help files for mrpeach- objects. Right-clicking [midifile] and selecting "help" gives "sorry, couldn't find help patch for "midifile-help.pd"" in the console.
Do you have an idea what I could try to do?
I get the same, and I don't yet understand why it doesn't show, although a midifile-help.pd file is there.
