Hi,
I have just startet using PD and GEM, but I also also had the same problem - and solved it. It seems, that the PD commandline parameters are case sensitive (!!!!) In my case it works fine if I type:
pd -lib /pd/gem/Gem
(with an uppercase G)
Remember to put both the 'pd' and 'pd/gem' directories in your path!
However, GEM also seems to be sensitive to where PD is located. I could not start GEM when I installed PD in a subdirectory (e.g. c:\music\pd\ with gem in c:\music\pd\gem) but that doesn't seem to be your problem.
By the way, are you using NT or 95/98?? I have tried win95 and Linux, and I think the it is running rather slowly under win95 compared to the Linux version.
Please don't by a G3 - make a Linux box instead - it's free - and better ;-)
Gee, I hope this works, otherwise this will look like a REEEEAL stupid answer!!

My system: Pentium 150, 32 MB of RAM, AWE 64 Gold. Please tell me if this setup is too slow.
PD by itself is slow but it runs. From what I understand, to start GEM
I click on the Start Menu, Run, and type: D:\pd\bin\pd -lib /pd/gem/GEM
or create a shortcut and type the same in the Start In value.
The location of the startup files in my system are:
D:\pd\bin\pd
D:\pd\gem\GEM
What happens is that only the MSDOS window will appear for a split second then close. Is there a trick to specify the drive the library is
on? Other comands I tried:
D:\pd\bin\pd -dac -lib /pd/gem/GEM D:\pd\bin\pd -nosound -lib /pd/gem/GEM D:\pd\bin\pd -adc -lib /pd/gem/GEM D:\pd\bin\pd -lib D:/pd/gem/GEM D:\pd\bin\pd -lib D:\pd/gem/GEM
I tried moving everything (PD and GEM files) to the C Drive. The command line: \pd\bin\pd would work for PD, but not: \pd\bin\pd -lib /pd/gem/GEM
What am I missing, please stop me from shopping for a G3.
