Hello all,
I am not quite certain what is happening, but I installed the latests auto build (1114), and when I start up PD under one user on my machine (that does not have a '.pdrc' file), none of the libraries will load. On another user (that has an EMPTY '.pdrc' file), it seems to boot up fine.
I tried creating a blank .pdrc file for the user that didn't have one, but it does seem to change anything. Who, what, where, when, how, and why...
What else should I check for on this?
Mike

probably the user that is not loading the standard libraries has a
preference file - the preference file name depends on the OS, check
the readme that comes with the autobuild for details. The older .pdrc
file is separate from the preference file and works independently of
the preference panel, preference file and the default preference file
included inside the autobuilds (which loads all the libraries).

actually the readme isn't so clear on this point ...
if a preference file exists in the usual place for you OS then pd-
extended uses it, if not then pd-extended uses the default one
included in the distribution, so in order to use the defaults just
remove the preference file in your home folder.
