i just downloaded the external zip from sourceforge, and everything seems to extract into the right places. however, when i tried to open one of the example patches that came with the package, the objects failed to connect.

i have used pd off and on--using mainly the core objects, but i have never used any of the externals because i seem to have the same problem. i have tried to search the past list and came up with only to extract the externals into the <extra> folder, which i did (this was on how to run zexy). i know this is a real newbie problem, but help is appreciated.

thank you.
