Hi,


hi

 
http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials/
links "HOWTO Install and Load Externals"
to
https://sites.google.com/site/porres/Using%20Pd%20Externals.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1
and
https://sites.google.com/site/porres/Using%20Pd%20Externals.pdf
respectively, but these links are dead.

yep, cause I was rewriting, revising it, so I took it down and shared the revision here on the list and on facebook 
 
The document seems to be
available here still.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3AoiT0xk8fnYWV5anJZeXZ2MDg/view

Perhaps the above links could be changed.

sure, it's just that it's still a work in progress, and we were also talking about putting it into Pd's own documentation
 
I am wondering if the paths
etc in this document are still up to date and am grateful this document
exists!

well, we've been having lots of discussions, so that's the point of not making this too much available. A lot of things changed in the new release and it is not up to date with that. Moreover, I'm proposing more changes to Pd that would make things simpler and easier. There are currently conflicting issues. Please check https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/183 (I made this link/discussion available to this list yesterday by the way).

cheers
