I have tried to install Zexy through apts from CCRMA and am having trouble getting Pd to create these objects. They show up in my docs/reference folder, but when I try to create say [list2symbol] I get:
<################################### list2symbol ... couldn't create ###################################>
this seems to happen with all newly installed externals. Maybe I do not have them installed correctly?
i type: "apt-get install zexy"
and it does it's thing, and says new packages are installed.

Hi again,
I would bet that you aren't loading the zexy library at startup, right?
If you type pd --help, you'll see all your startup arguments. Using the -lib flag together with the -path flag to tell PD to load Zexy, and where to find it.
For this and your other prblem with audio glitches, you should investigate the use of a file called .pdrc, which you put in your /home/USER directory. The .pdrc contains all you startup arguments, including the libraries which you load at startup.
Read the manual in the docs section for full details...
My .pdrc looks like this, BTW:
-rt -audiobuf 50 -r 44100 -path /usr/local/lib/pd/extra -path /usr/local/lib/pd/abs -lib zexy:Gem:OSC:plugin~ -lib maxlib:iem_mp3:iem_t3_lib:iemlib1:iemlib2:pdp:pidip
The audio glitches problem can probably be solved by increasing your audio buffer and/or your blocksize in your .pdrc file. The manual has more details on this as well.
d.
ps... dear list: shouldn't all this basic stuff be in a FAQ somewhere by now?
