BTW -
Adding pm4pd to preferences/path in Pd works but I then get this error in red (not sure how harmless it is)
WARNING: duplicate 'examples' library found! '/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem/examples' is active '/usr/lib/pd/extra/pm4pd/examples' is duplicate WARNING: duplicate 'manual' library found! '/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem/manual' is active '/usr/lib/pd/extra/pm4pd/manual' is duplicate
But pmpd then works as expected.
I know it's not how you're supposed to do it these days but whatever works when push comes to shove!
Cheers,

Hi all,
I'm running a seminar next week and I'd really like to do some pmpd.
As well as my own examples I was also hoping to make use of the many examples within pmpd. What I'm hoping to avoid is having to go through every example and inserting [pm4pd/mass] etc. etc. into every object.
I'm on Pd vanilla but the workshop students will on PdE so a dual solution would be best if poss.
I've renamed the folder & meta to 'pm4pd' btw.
Getting them to load at all is proving rather tricky:
With examples/01._basics.pd as our test (I like the tumbling pmpd letters - good eye candy:)
Adding [import pm4pd] doesn't work
Adding [declare -stdpath extra/pm4pd] doesn't work
Adding [declare -lib extra/pm4pd] doesn't work
I'm aware that I've still not quite got my head around which method of adding various libraries is most appropriate (I can't be the only one) but that's another question for another time.
Any ideas very much appreciated.
Best wishes to all,
Julian
