Summary: abstractions/gemwin.pd couldn't create

Initial Comment:
User patches (non-example patches) give error when creating gem abstractions (example: abstractions/gemwin.pd) even when [import Gem], etc is used.

For example, "gemwin ... couldn't create", "gemorb ... couldn't create"

do gem abstractions just need alias's made in parent directory ? although I am assuming there with be conflicts between abstractions and externals/gem-internals such as "gemhead"?

Wonderful blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any
discussion boards that cover the same topics talked about here? I'd really
like to be a part of community where I can get advice from other
knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any
suggestions, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Message:
OK. You are correct in that. Although I think the confusion was in the fact
that a "make install" (at least on OSX) installs gem to
"/usr/local/lib/pd/extra/" rather than "~/Library/Pd/Gem".....

should it or should it not i do not know...

Message:
no, you should not need an alias in the parent path.

Gem expects the abstractions to live in the same directory as the
Gem-binary (Gem.pd_darwin in your case), and (if properly compiled and
installed [*]), will add this directory to Pd's search paths.

if things go wrong, you might want to run pd with "-verbose" flag, to see
whether it spits something out regarding it's search path.

what [import Gem] does in don't know.



[*] properly compiled means, that "s_stuff.h" was found during compilation;
properly installed means, that _all_ Gem-abstractions (including the
special Gem-meta.pd)
