I tried installing PDP on Ubuntu 17.10 using Deken. The installation seemed to work well and put the external in the same folder as all the other externals I have installed. However when I try building a patch with a pdp object I get the message that the object couldn't be created. Any thoughts what may be up with this external and why it won't load properly for me. My path points to it so it isn't that.

These are three different steps: Installing via Deken Loading the library eg via creating an object [declare -lib Gem] Creating objects from that library.

Are you missing the second step perhaps?

Thanks, You are correct I didn't include step 2 but I never have had to do this with other externals I installed using Deken. I tried it anyway but it made no difference. The object still couldn't be created.
