Hey - Happy clock changing day!

I am not a newbie, but a newbie to Vanilla. Looking for some suggestions please concerning getting Gem working in 0.47.1 on Mac OSX.

I have tried following lots of the advice given to lots of people who seemed to have had this struggle at some time. But not getting much closer.

I have tried place (and re-placing) the Gem files in various different locations, and several different ways of adding flags and paths and other start up instructions.

Maybe the closest I have got was yesterday when upon start up, the console wrote that Gem.d_fat "succeeded" but Gem.pd_darwin and the others failed.

Here are samples of the sort of thing I have been trying and the console messages received. Thanks in advance!

Getting closer I hope - thanks EEight. Now pd_darwin has succeeded (yay! according to the Gem ReadMe that is good right?) but I have not managed to load the whole library.

I followed the Deken instructions at http://puredatajapan.info/?p=2073
And this is where I got to:

Wondered if my problem was specific to what I had tried with Gem.
E.g. in trying various paths and locations for Gem, maybe I messed up something ? (for instance upon starting up PD still seems to try and load now deleted and now absent paths for that I had earlier tried for Gem)

So I followed the same procedure (via Deken) for pix. And no success with Pix either. So I seem to have a general problem with understanding to load libraries.

'Very grateful for any further suggestions, cheers.
