I am doing my first tries with pd. I am specially interested in learning building my own synths. I've followed this interesting tutorial.
[1]O'Reilly -- Make Your Own Music Software with Pure Data
However when loading the provided example Simple Synth.pd I get this error in the output window.
output~ ... couldn't create
Obviously I get no sound.
Any ideas welcome!

You could simply replace it with [dac~] or copy ouput~.pd from doc/3.audio.examples/ in the Pd documentation patches next to Synth.pd

Copying it from the 3.audio.examples directory worked. I assumed that doc was included as a default search path. Are there in Pd default search paths I should be aware of?

Only the "extra" and "externs" directories are usually used as default search paths. I also think it's a bad idea to include the examples dir into the search path, as most of these files are not intended to be used as abstractions themselfes.
The author should have included output.pd in his downloadable files, especially as the article is a beginner's article and a beginner cannot be expected to guess which kind of object it is meant to be.

i totally agree.

especially since another [output~] is also provided by the iemabs (but with different behaviour).
imho, the author should have used no abstraction at all (there is no pedagogical value to it, like re-using abstractions); and they shouldn't have used spaces in the patch-names.

There's extra but no externs dir here, there's 6.externs under doc but I suspect you don't mean this one.

"externs" is used by some people for legacy reasons. they add it manually to their search path since it is not searched "out of the box" by pd. so it's perfectly normal to NOT have "externs" on your system.

[output~] is an abstraction that comes with pd's help files. copy it from doc/5.reference/3.audio.examples/ to the folder where your help-patches live.
apart from that, the example patch is really a bad example on what you should do with pd. it is quite hard to use it without a midi-keyboard.
Any ideas welcome!
kick the author ;-)
and don't forget to go through the audio-examples that come with pd...
