Maybe it makes sense to use [declare] to embed the path setting in the
patch with plugin~.

restart Pd, the path I added is not on the list of paths. This is
the case for the released Pd-extended 0.40-3 as well as the nightly
builds of 0.41.4 for OS X 10.4 Intel.Even if I had added the path, though it probably wouldn't have
solved my problem: I was trying to find a platform-independent (at
least for OS X and Linux) way for pd to find gverb using |plugin~|.
On OS X from the terminal if I do: export LADSPA_PATH=/Applications/audacity/plug-ins open Pd-0.41.4-extended-20090126.app then |plugin~| finds gverb successfully. But I wanted to find a way
to extend the LADSPA_PATH ideally from a Pd patch itself or, short
of this, without having to go to the terminal to start Pd. Of course
the location of gverb is different between Linux and OS X and what
I'm looking for is an easy way for |plugin~| in Pd to find gverb on
either platform. Ideas?Thanks,
