Hello Everyone
I am in the process of switching computers, and operating systems, from windows 98 to mac OS X, and I am trying to load all of my patches that I wrote in windows to my new computer.
I had no trouble installing pd on OS X, but now I can't figure out how to load libraries (percolate, especially!) on to Pd. I know how to do it on the DOS command line.
Is the syntax the same? i.e.:
pd -lib percolate ........or whatever...
It seems like I am missing a pretty simple solution, though I would like to have Pd for OS X running as soon as possible, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! David

yes, same syntax. so as long as the libs are in the right path, there should be no problem you can also have them all in the .pdrc file (see the list archive for tips and hints on that) best

I think my problem might have more to do with the UNIX syntax of OS X. Where do I find the .pdrc?
To run pd from the terminal I am using the command "open pd", but when I add tags the terminal tries to look them up as file names.
To reiterate:
I am running Pd on OS X, which is still pretty new to me, and I can run Pd on the command line, but not with the optional tags.
Does this make sense?

.pdrc is not in your system by default. you have to create it with a text editor like pico, emacs or whatever you can use it to tell up to load the libs on startup. browse the list archive for varied examples
To run pd from the terminal I am using the command "open pd", but when I add tags the terminal tries to look them up as file names.
try: /usr/local/pd/bin/pd assuming that's the correct path. use "-open xxxxxx" to open files. you can add the "-lib percolate" to that, although it's more handy to have the .pdrc or at least an alias (on your .tcshrc file) bst

I think my problem has a lot to do with my lack of familiarity with the unix syntax. Right now I can run pd from the terminal using the command "open pd", but when I add the tags to add libraries, the shell looks for them as if the tags were file names.
where is the .pdrc?
do I need to change the settings on the terminal?
