When I started up Pd today I got a load of error messages. Every single one failed to load.

starting:
tried .\\libdir.m_i386 and failed
tried C:\\windows\\Fonts\\libdir.m_i386 and failed
tried C:\\Program Files (x86)\\pd\\extra\\cyclone\\libdir.m_i386 and failed
...

On seeing there was a new version of Pd available, I downloaded version 0.43.4-extended. It has made no difference; I still get the same error messages. On the positive side, Pd still seems to work.

Is this something I should worry about?

It looks like you just have it running in verbose mode. If everything is working, they didn't all fail, either. It's basically just trying to load a library and looking at all the paths in order until it finds it.

In the preferences window, uncheck verbose and those unnecessary messages should go away.

Thanks, I had selected it by mistake the last time I had used Pd. However, with the new version I am still getting the following:

memento: can't load library
pixeltango: can't load library
rradical: can't load library
toxy: can't load library
flib: can't load library
flatspace: can't load library

Do I need to find these libraries from other sources?

That means it still trying to use your old Preferences file. Those libraries are now longer distributed with Pd-extended due to lack of maintainers. Check the Preferences window for a "Reset to Defaults" button to update to the new default Preferences files.
