i recently downloaded the latest version of Pd-extended 0.41.4 for Mac OSX (Intel). Certain objects seem to be missing. When trying to use [Uzi] object I'm getting the "...couldn't create" error.

I'm relatively new to Pd so any help is greatly appreciated!

Are you getting any errors in the Pd window when it starts up?

only: [import] $Revision: 1.2 $
[import] is still in development, the interface could change!

>> [Uzi]

i think that's an external imported from MAX, right? the cyclone library sort of bridges pd and max so you can use max objects, but i don't think it is complete. that object may not exist in pd?

other thing i can think of is that pd's objects are case sensitive, so 'Uzi' is not the same as 'uzi'

I recently saw [kalashnikov] in one of toxonic's examples/patches, which seems to do the same thing as [uzi]. Maybe that will do it?

I think there's a problem with Pd finding these objects. Tried to use [kalashnikov] instead, and Pd cannot create it either, although I see it in the folder Contents/Resources/extra/ext13. Is there a step I missed in the installation?

Normally I recommend people try the following link, but if you're not getting any "can't load library" messages in the Pd window, I don't know if it will help:

A trick i used on older versions of pd, was to copy the objects that wouldn't load to a folder in the extra folder who's object would load (e.g. unauthorized). Rather dirty, but it worked for me.

I just had the same problem with [uzi] and I went to do your hack of moving it across to another folder and noticed that it's [Uzi] not [uzi] the weird thing is that it worked the first time around but not when I saved and reloaded...

Sorry to bump something from 3 years ago, just thought it might come in useful to anyone searching.
