I am trying to evaluate some patches from here and I think I need to load some libraries first

I am using Debian-13 on aarch64 (Raspberry Pi 5)

There is a list of libraries in ARGOPd-libraries.txt

In the gui for pd I have tried the menu: Help -> Find Externals

But it says it cannot find what ever search string I enter.

I add the directory for a patch under ARGOPd/ExMM but I get a cascade of errors about the things it cannot find.

It is almost always possible to work around missing objects.

The easy solution is to find an older 32-bit RPI and install Pd Extended.

Otherwise upload a list to this thread of what is still missing once you have found everything available on Deken.
Some objects will be directly replaceable by newer externals that will have different names in other libraries.
Others will have had vanilla patch replacements built by users over the years and someone will try to help you out..... eg.....https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/14619/order-of-ops-confusion-troubleshooting-vanilla-demux-abstraction
Others might not be replaceable but might not be absolutely necessary..?

Edit...
This FAQ might well help....... http://gerard.paresys.free.fr/ARGOPd/ARGOPdFAQ.html
"How Do I Install Pd On Debian, Ubuntu, Mint GNU/Linux?" Solution2... about half way down the FAQ..

If I really cared I would compile what I need, but not for ARGOPd.

thank you for your attention, sorry about the noise
