Hi there,

I am new to puredata and wanted to have some knobs in my patches. So I am trying to install moonlib and I am unsure what to do.

I download and copied the files here :

/usr/lib/pd/extra/moonlib

I've added

moonlib

in the binaries to load at next startup

and I even tried to add the path and lib to the .pdrc only to alway get the dreaded

can't load library

in the pd startup window.

I am on puredyne cc (ubuntu 9.04)

thanks for the kick in the right direction

That's right .. assuming moonlib is a 'dir'

I've added

No .. go to File -> Path, in the menu,

and add /usr/lib/pd/extra/moonlib to it .. click on 'save all settings'

.. and you should be away

so files are in the right place - I removed the information from the .pdrc just to make sure - the path is the right one in the path window in pd, I remove the moolib from the binaries startups - but can't make a moonlib/mknob object

In the boot window it also doesn't list that it has loaded the moonlib... are you sure there is nothing to be put in the startup setting ?

Shouldn't have to .. is mknob.pd_linux in the /usr/lib/pd/extra/moonlib/ directory?

It's a lot simpler in pd-extended of course

If you've added moonlib's path, it should work with [mknob] as opposed to [moonlib/mknob]

.. probably just need to fiddle around a bit .. try turning on "verbose" in the path menu, if you're still having trouble
