Hello,
Last night after being informed about the zexy library (thanks for all your replies), i dl'ed it, compiled and installed it in the default /usr/local/lib/pd/externs via make install. But when i run "pd -lib /usr/local/lib/pd/externs/zexy.pd_linux" it doesn't load. I get "/usr/local/lib/pd/externs/zexy.pd_linux: can't load library" Can someone tell me if i'm doing something obviously wrong? The file is definately in this location. Strangely, the examples and help files all load fine.
Also, I can't seem to find in any of the documentation the correct format for the .pdrc file. Can someone point out to me where I can find this?
Many thanks,
Chris. ______________________________________________________ Chris McCormick - Systems Developer - PerthWeb Pty Ltd Internet Solutions for your business!

hi Chris,
probably someone has answered this already, but in case not:

do not use the suffix, otherwise Pd attempts to load zexy.pd_linux.pd_linux

<rant>there is no documentation, because there is no such thing as the correct format of the .pdrc file</rant> -- well, it is just a place to put commandline options for Pd, and the syntax is the same, as that of commandline (the special bonus is that you do not need to put \ before linebreaks :-)

is this a rant about the format, the missing documentation or the question ?
I implemented this because it was the easiest way to keep the pdrc up to date without haveing to implement a new parser and I didn't want to mess around too much in pd's code. its the cheapest, not the best solution.

neither, because you are right -- this is not the best time to put one's effort into .pdrc. I was just blabbing about ``the general state of affairs'' which means, about nothing.
By putting the <rant> quotes I meant: ``loudly speaking without much substance, ignore this''.
