afaik, both /downloads/gem and deken only provide Gem-0.93.3 (not newer) for W32...
so, that's what i'm using
Vanilla 46.7 shows the same problem with Gem
to me it looks like the lib is found, but the creation of the objects fails. for [gemwin] there exists a gemwin.pd in the lib: the object box is drawn like it is ok, but the 'content' cannot be created (list of errors in Pd-console).
...but all the details of your report show that you are using some 0.94git snapshot
see above.
OR
that you simply failed to load the Gem binary. did you get the splash-screen telling you that Gem has been loaded?
no splash-screen.
i suspect this all to do with libdir. try loading Gem before loading libdir.
i don't know anything about libdir.
for clarity: when i use the same Vanilla 47.0 and the same Gem lib in a virtual box (VMware player) with Windows XP everything works like it should. i get a splash-screen, can create a gem-window.

@IOhannes
you are right: all the error messages were obscuring their cause; starting Pd with preferences set it simply tells: Gem: can't load library
