Just wondering if there is a quick and painless way to use all the external libs from the pd-extended package in the vanilla 0.40.2 build on an os x 10.4.9 (Intel) machine. Still having trouble figuring out how pd links to all that stuff, so if someone could break it down for me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

As far as I can gather, as an alternative to starting from the Terminal with -lib flags, you can use property list editor to edit this;

~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist

Add a property (loadlibXX) for each new binary (.darwin) which you put (or compile) in the extra directory and make sure the value of the property "nlibs" reflects the number of binaries you have installed.

If you notice, you can also add paths in the same manner, for your abstractions.

Right on!

Maybe now I won't have to set up my audio everytime pd loads...

Thanks for your help!

btw this works with linux too. I just setup pd on ubuntu ppc by installing hans' debian/testing package and editing ~/.pdsettings in the same way.
