hey,
thanks hc. it makes sense what you say:
it must be a slash related problem, since every library im trying to load with pd, it cannot access the binaries with the .pd_darwin ending.. and it prints e.g. "tried /zexy.pd_darwin and failed" or "tried /rradical/radical.pd_darwin and failed." .. what is a leading slash and what can i do about it ?

I think you have a leading slash, i.e. "/xsample". It should just read
"xsample".
