Hi Peter, 

I have OpenCV 2.4.9.1.

Could you please provide more information about why you can't load pix_opencv_threshold ?
You should have some error in Pd console, and as suggested by Antoine Rousseau please start pd with -verbose flag and switch console to log mode "4 all".
When you add a [declare -lib pix_opencv] , do you see a message on the Pd Console ? 
Something like : 
pix_opencv 0.4 library by Antoine Villeret 2012-2014
based on work by Yves Degoyon and Lluis Gomez i Bigorda
built on Mar 14 2016
without non-free features
and without FaceTracker.

If you don't then pix_opencv is not loaded but Pd should tell you why.

Best 

Antoine

Antoine,

thanks for your kind reply! Please see my comments below,

Thanks!

Debian Linux is offering me the following packages
        libopencv-apps0d
        libopencv-calib3d2.4v5
        libopencv-contrib2.4v5
        libopencv-core2.4v5
        libopencv-features2d2.4v5
        libopencv-flann2.4v5
        libopencv-gpu2.4v5
        libopencv-highgui2.4-deb0
        libopencv-imgproc2.4v5
        libopencv-legacy2.4v5
        libopencv-ml2.4v5
        libopencv-objdetect2.4v5
        libopencv-ocl2.4v5
        libopencv-photo2.4v5
        libopencv-stitching2.4v5
        libopencv-superres2.4v5
        libopencv-ts2.4v5
        libopencv-video2.4v5
        libopencv-videostab2.4v5
        libopencv2.4-java
        libopencv2.4-jni
which pulls in a total of 44 packages. I installed them all, loaded
using [declare -lib pix_opencv] and can not create an object like
[pix_opencv_threshold].

No need on my side for now, thank you.
How would apple users install and use pix_opencv by the way? You
mentioned that you included a libopencv binary with the external?

Can you check which libopencv-packages you have installed on that
computer?

All the best,
Peter
