cheers hc., one problem: where do i find the org.puredata.pd.plist file ? i downloaded the xsample folder for mac osx from thomas' website. the folder contains the binary, two demos and help patches. is there another meaning hidden with when you say "comes with the Pd binary" ? how do i obtain it ?

Try copying the org.puredata.pd.plist file that comes with the Pd binary. Copy it to ~/Library/Preferences. That will replace your current Pd preferences with the default ones.

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".

i did get one new xsamples.pd_darwin and i added the -verbose to

a step closer ?

ok, that's bad, there's something wrong. Two things to try:
- in the Pd/Preferences/Startup menu (you might have to create a
patcher window first to see this), add -verbose to the startup
flags
(line at the bottom) and restart pd - please tell me what the
console
now says about xsample loading
- Download an xsample package for OSX from
http://grrrr.org/ext/xsample and replace the xsample.pd_darwin in the PD-extended build with
the
new version.
best greetings, Thomas
