Hi,
I just (re)installed Pd on OS-X using the Pd OS-X installer. The Percolate external doesn't come with this distribution. So I would like to install it myself, but I haven't been able to figure out where the OS-X installer writes its files and how one adds new externals to the installation. Could anyone help me with this?
Thanks, Greg Kellum

Basically externals are treated just like abstractions. One way to use it would be to just put the external in the same folder as your patch.
For more in depth information you might look at section "3.7 dealing with files" of the manual.

The current installer puts its files into /usr/local/lib/pd, but you can put your files wherever you want, as long as you add a -path and maybe -helppath line to your .pdrc.
For the next release, I am planning on having Pd installed into /Applications/Pure Data.app, then setting up /Library/Application Support/Pure Data and ~/Library/Application Support/Pure Data for add-ons.

I've been playing with another approach, which I think is more mac friendly. You can include almost everything inside the application bundle without much effort using Platypus: http://sveinbjorn.vefsyn.is/software
this is the bundle I use currently, it's not complete at all but ... http://www.ooo000ooo.org/uPDated.zip
The only thing left out is Tcl/Tk (I'm using tigital's 8.5), but I think it could be included as well. This has the advantage that you can add any externals and move everything within a single file (bundle).
To see what I mean, just open the package contents and find a file called "script". You can mantain eveything there. I think this can evolve to something quite complete and still very convenient.

...ultimately, on OSX, we'd like to keep all "extra" things in your home directory library, something like:
~/Library/Pd/externals
...this is where most of the installers that produce/"live off" a .pdrc put things...
