Sounds like 'libdir' isn't being loaded first. Try reseting your
registry settings with the included pdsettings.reg file.

Errata corrige: there is one other library that does load, it is
"vbap".
And one thing it has in common with Gem is that its folder contains
a dll file with the same name, namely "vbap.dll". Seems like all
other libraries don't (though I haven't checked _all_ of them).
So I guess I should add the other directories to path rather than to
startup?
The very strange thing is that it used to work up to a few days ago
however.......

Hi,
The short version: I fresh-installed Pd Extended into the default
location (C:\Program Files\pd) and I get:
cyclone: can't load library
zexy: can't load library
creb: can't load library
....
and so on for EVERY library except Gem. The strange thing is that
Gem does load, and it is located in pd/extra just like all other
libraries. This is really crazy isn't it?
What can be wrong?
The long version:
I had already installed Pd Extended and it used to work fine. It
was installed in an "unusual" location: "D:/programmi/pd_extended",
where "programmi" is the italian word for "programs" but it is
_not_ the default directory for programs in my computer (who speaks
spanish, not italian).
When I installed it, I had to manually modify the "pd-settings.reg"
file that adds the libraries to startup, because it uses the wrong
location for the registry keys (this has nothing to do with the
path where Pd is installed). After that, I had Pd Extended working
fine and loading all libraries.
Also, I have Pd Vanilla installed in another directory, "D:
\programmi\pd". I run it using the "-noprefs" option, because
otherwise, it would (try to) load the libraries from pd Extended.
Today, misteriously and without (apparently) touching anything, Pd
Extended stopped working, that is it started giving me "cannot load
library" messages.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to the same directory with
no luck. So I uninstalled and reinstalled again, this time to the
default location C:\Program Files\pd (note disk C which is where
the OS is installed, and "Program Files" is the actual system
Program Files directory, which is displayed as "Archivos de
Programa").
However the result is the same: "cannot load library" for all
libraries except Gem.
The Gem it is loading is actually the one installed inside the C:
\Program Files\pd\extra\Gem directory, which is the same path where
all other libraries are located too. I know it because if I rename
that gem.dll file, it won't load.
Please help!
thanks
