hi, the lib-path has to start with the harddrive-letter followed by the path or with a relative path (without starting slash). or you put the library files (dll) to a folder which is searched automatically by Pd... like /externs. so in your example it looks like the path is son set correctly: try -lib c:/whatever/pd/gem/Gem.

you can place the Gem folder to any location you like. (i place it in my pd-folder like you)

the gemlibs are only needed if you want to compile the program from the sourcecode. For windows to run GEM you only need gem-doc and gem-bin.

if you run the install.bat then all help-patches and reference-files should be installed, you donŽt need any other environment-variables.

hello list try as i may, I can not get gem to load with PD i'm running w2k SP4 upgarded to windows XP (not SP1) ,direct X 9.0

my structure set up C:\pd\gem-0.87\GemLibs

i think i followed the instalation directions, i used the syntax in

("Using GEM with pd")

pd\bin\pd -lib /pd/gem/Gem (I changed gem-0.87 to gem and GemLibs to Gem)

and ran

as they came too,but nothing. (this is the error i get) /pd/gem/Gem: can't load libary

i also extracted glut 3.7.6(glut 32) to my winnt\system

i guess what i really dont understand is 1.where exactly to put the GemLibs folder? 2.where to put the gem .dll from gem-bin-0.87? do ineed this? 3.am i going to need an enviroment variable? syntax please?

if anybody could help me out,suggestions,links to instalation tutorials

would be great

i know these are real basic questions (sorry) i have been reading the

manual and understand

what things do in gem,but the install has me stumped. thank you in advance.
