Hello. I'm once again trying to control my school's Moog with Pd, this time going with the serial port on my new laptop. I downloaded and compiled the [comport] external. I moved the file comport.pd_linux to /usr/local/lib/pd/extra. If I open the comport-help file, which I moved to the same folder, it opens fine. However, if I start a new patch and add a [comport] object, it is unable to load. Why does [comport] not load, while [expr] and its cousins do? Does Pd not check /usr/local/lib/pd/extra?
Thanks. Chuckk
