what am I doing wrong?!!
You have a lot of paths that don't work but you did manage to load
Gem. I would suggest deleting everything from the path and startup
windows, save settings, then find out with Windows Explorer where the
various extensions actually are, copy each different path from
Explorer's Address field and paste it into the path window (e.g.
C:/Program Files/pd/extra). For the libs just put the lib names into
the load-on-startup window (e.g. Gem). Then you hit Apply and Save
Settings, then reopen the dialogs and make sure the paths haven't been
mangled, if so edit them and apply and save again. (I found that
slashes tend to get duplicated.) Then quit pd and restart it to find
out if it worked.Martin
If you install Pd-extended, you can double-click C:\Program
Files\pd\pd-settings.reg, and it'll install the prefs so that (almost)
all the included libs/externs are loaded when Pd starts.
