Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem using Pd Extended 0.40.3 on a Mac running OSX 10.5.5. Apparently this is a problem of Pd Extended 0.40.3, as I've tried it on Mac OSX 10.4.11 and the same problem persists.

What is happening is the audio versions of the Logical Operators don't work. As if the library hasn't loaded. It appears as loaded, but the Objects don't work properly.

That's when I realised I don't know how to load libraries manually, so any help in either subject is much welcome.

Cheers

Do you mean <~ >~ etc? Yea its a namespace issue with the loader and character encoding - something i dont fully understand.

The work around is to use [expr~ $v1 < $v2] etc

The PC version was doing the same thing, I managed to install zexy 2.1 and it worked. I can't, however, do the same on Leopard or Tiger. I'll post any news, maybe it's just me not knowing how to install it properly. Still, any help is welcome. Meanwhile, I'll try to suss it out with expressions...

I am on Tiger 10.4.11, and having exactly the same problem. I use [env~] to convert the signal properties to numbers, than apply whatever logical operation I want to. It'd be nice to have those working though.

By the way, I've never used it but as far as I know [expr~] is extremely cpu expansive, isn't it?

More so than the objects in question ie. [>~] but not that much more in my experience.

Again i think this was being sorted for the next Pd-extended release, but i think its a bit more involved than meets the eye. I think it to do with when pd-extended is compiled that it doesn't know how to handle those funky characters

Have a search on the Pd-list for more involved discussions

Maybe the answer to all of this is how to install it properly on mac, maybe the installer got some bugs, etc. It worked on a PC, so it should on a Mac if you get zexy installed right.

Meanwhile, I'll just try and figure it out in some other way

it's some sort of character conflict. i think it was ok until about pd 0.39 or 0.40. but then things all got weird with using those objects. i emailed miller about it, because it seems a simple solution would be just to incorporate them into vanilla pd, but he never replied, so obviously he doesn't think it's that important. (i disagree)

anyway, [expr~ $v1>$f2] or whetever is a decent workaround, and i don't think it is THAT taxing on cpu. [fexpr~] is the real heavy one.

ok...i'm, confused. what would be the equivalent use of [expr~] be for something like [<~ -2]?

[expr~ $v1 < -2]

thanks!
