[PD] Fwd: probability table ?

[volker böhm]

sorry, this was not intended to go to you privately, but to the list.

could resolve one issue. list-wrandom and list-random load fine in pd  
0.39.3-extended after adding them to the extra folder (they were  
missing before).
but they weren't missing in the pd 0.40.3 version.
i can't get this version to load any other externals.
after startup i get
"creb: can't load library
cxc: can't load library
iemlib: can't load library
list-abs: can't load library
mapping: can't load library
markex: can't load library
maxlib: can't load library
..."

so one question remains:
isn't the package contents automatically part of pd's search path?
if not, how can i change the search path, as with the pd preferences  
menu i can't seem to navigate inside an application folder?

well, actually pd seems to find the libraries, but it can't load  
them... what could cause this error?

thanks for any pointers.
volker.
