Yo b,
Are you on OS X, Win32, or Linux? Almost every popular external, unauthorized definitely, is included in Pd-ext .39-3. To load a library every time you start pd, go to File > Startup and you'll see several rows where you can type the name of the lib you want to load at startup. For example to load sevy's "unauthorized" lib you would type unauthorized, click "Save all settings" and the restart pd. In Pd's terminal window it will often say what libs are loaded if they are programmed to give a shout-out on startup.
Finding out what is and isn't there is tricky, but if you tell us what platform you're on it will be easy to explain. In my experience the only big thing that isn't there is Gridflow and some wilder stuff.
Also, you wouldn't happen to be the same Bryan Eubanks who made this record: http://www.gmby.net/releases/gb100.html
Cause if so that stuff is really good and we should talk. cheers km

hello, I have been searching for a clear tutorial on external installation and haven't found one, if someone can point me to one, please do. my question regards what libraries are included in pd extended .39-3 (looking for unauthorized in particular) and how do I load these at start
up
as well as how do I make a path to externals I have placed on my hard
drive
under /myexternals or something? thanks

Hmm, what do you mean "the default"? Is it loading all the libs by default because you copied Hans' pd preferences as per the instructions? Those prefs are really just meant to test everything out, not for day to day usage. I know there's a way to get multiple entries on the same line but I can't remember what it is - sorry! But if it's loading all those libraries on startup, that's going to take up a lot of resources that could be put to good use otherwise. For example, you don't want to load Gem (3d graphics lib) if you're only doing audio work. My advice would be to erase everything, start fresh, and add libs to the "Startup" dialog as you need them.
so I know there are a couple of those libraries I am not using at
all that I could replace. However, how can I add libs to the startup flag, or just to the binaries to load section...?
You can put more entries in the startup flag field by adding "-lib whateverlib" to it.
good luck km

you can add extra paths or libraries in the preference dialogues by
adding a colon then the new path (no spaces!!) [then 'apply' then
'save settings'] next time you open the dialogue it will be on the
next line.
perhaps if you have more than the 10 entries you should try editing
the preference file (since you are on OSX it is
org.puredata.pd.plist) directly, using Apple's Property List Editor
instead of struggling with the not-so-friendly preference dialogues.
