ok, if you’re on Windows 7, using Pd-extended 0.42.5 and want to use GEM 0.93.1 there’s a few thing you must do.

download pd-vanilla 0.43
download GEM 0.93.1 (not 0.93.0) and install it for pd-extended
in the pd-vanilla zip, open the bin/ folder and search for these 2 files pthreadVC.dll and pthreadVC.lib
copy the 2 files and drop in Program Files (x86)/pd/bin/ folder for pd-extented.

Now, you should be able to use GEM 0.93.1 objects with pd-extended 0.42.5

I've included a zip with the necessary files, but if it doesn't work you know where to get it.

I have install so above but it is not working what can it be

i have dis in the screen:
[import] $Revision: 1.2 $
[import] is still in development, the interface could change!
compiled against Pd version 0.42.5
%SystemRoot%fonts: can't load library

i can't create gemwin and pix_...

win 7 32 bit

Not sure, remember that you can't use Gem 0.92 and Gem 0.93.1 at the same time. Either one or the other.

I have followed all the instructions but PD crashes on launching pix_mano-help.pd.
For a brief moment I see GEM tracing my webcam (ms LifeCam NX-6000) than PD crashes and sometimes I get a MS warning "poor system performance".

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie PD enthusiast

I don't think you need to try this with 0.42.5 anymore since the beta for 0.43.1 is up and it should include Jaime Oliver's pix mano and drum objects. Give it a try.

Thanks for your quick response. I installed the beta and there is just a slight improvement. It crashes on movement. I think I will have to delve a bit deeper into pd and system resources and maybe add some memory? Just have to be a bit more patient I think. In all my enthusiasm for wanting to work with pd and see what the possibilities are I want results to fast.
Thanks again and I hope I can share some work next months.

On win7 running pd-extended and gem 93.1 pix_video is crashing all the time. Am-I the only one?
