Perhaps in your distro, the help patches are not in the same folder as the .pd_linux file? In Pd-extended 0.42, all libraries are libdirs, so they are one folder that include the binary objet .pd_linux files, the help files, etc.

To add to this, it appears latest svn version of 0.42.x pd-extended branch does not use default.pdsettings at all and yet it still finds everything ok. Is it internalizing paths and if so where? In other words what is it using and where is it storing stuff that is making this thing possible?

What's the path bug you are experiencing?

Hans,

Could you please let me know what may have been changed in pd-extended 0.42.x version over the past year that may have fixed the path bug I am currently experiencing as I cannot find anything differing between l2ork version and vanilla pd-extended that would explain why pd-extended finds those and l2ork doesn't. Even a simple pointer will undoubtedly save me tons of time.

Thanks!

Ico
