i'm having similar troubles. in my previous version of pd (ext-0.38.4, still the one that's on the pd website, so officially the official release of extended, though everybody seems to be using 0.39?), there were a lot of libs included that are not in 0.39.2-test5 for mac osx. also a lot of help files are missing. am i supposed to just check what's missing in 39 and drag 'em in there from 38 (risking objects / abs with the same names or overwriting things), or is there a pd-ext that has it all, iow am i just using the wrong release? help would be much appreciated, as i'd love starting to learn things that rely on objects / abs that are now missing (eg memento). cheers, robbert

Hi All,
I have downloaded the package: Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5.dmg from hans page (http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html). I have copiied the org.data.pd.pdlist into my preferences. I have also draged the pd apps into my application folder. When I now try to run a gem patch, I do receive a couple of errors, which indicates to me, that pd cannot find the gem application (or at least I assume this...) The errors look like the following:
you are right, pd cannot find Gem (and if we want to nit-pick, Gem is a library and not an application; you can use it to build applitcations)
i don't know whether Gem is included in the release of pd-extended. (check the README, or try to locate a Gem.pd_darwin in the pd-extended application) try creating an object [Gem] to see whether pd can load it. watch the console for any warnings (run pd with the "-verbose" flag for better information). if you can load it this way, you might want to add it manually to the libraries to be loaded at startup.
if Gem is not part of your specific pd-extended release, either get a fresh one from http://autobuild.puredata.info (if you are brave and feel like beta-testing) or get the Gem-binary fron http://gem.iem.at (most likely you want the OSX bin-doc package)

What is missing? Did you install the org.puredata.pd.plist as listed
in the README?
Pd-extended 0.39.2-test5 should have more stuff, not less.

Thanks for your fast reply! (Mine took a bit as I'm spending a lot of time on buses, trains, and setting up instruments at the moment.) I did indeed install the .plist (and have been messing around with it a bit, see earlier posts on how: in the Property List Editor, with which the .plist opens by default, and in the prefs as accessed through pd. Changes made in the one don't necessarily--visibly--show up in the other... puzzling). But is that really the source of the trouble? In the 5.reference folder, 0.39.2 has 258 items, while the old one has 659 items. Some things can't be created:
sorry, couldn't find help patch for "moog~.pd" sorry, couldn't find help patch for "aenv~.pd" sorry, couldn't find help patch for "fiddle~.pd"
Others do work (eg bfft~) so they've simply been reorganised to another location I suppose.
As I mentioned in earlier posts, I already took some things from the old 'extra' folder into 0.39.2 ([motex/pan~], [stripdir]). But then there's [commun] and [careGUI], which didn't create before (the reason for my previous post), but now sometimes do... And sometimes don't... Hmm.
I'm not sure of the reason for all these things. I feel like a bit of an idiot as things sometimes work and sometimes don't. I guess I'll just try and reinstall the whole thing, incl the .plist (the one currently used is attached). Is 0.39.2 indeed the version to work with now, even though it's not on the pd site (yet?)? Or maybe I'll just replace / reinstall the .plist, to begin with. I know it's all horribly newbie, but I just am... :) I don't really know the first thing about how all this works. Thanks for everyone's patience while I'm (hopefully) figuring it out.
Cheers, Robbert
