Hi,
<br/>
<br/>I'm trying to get Pd to run at startup. I've put the command in /etc/rc.local.
<br/>Everything works fine, except that Pd seems to be unable to search the paths I specified (either in .pdsettings or directly in the command line). I'm trying to use a patch with the reverb described in the audio examples (G.08 I think), and there's an abstraction in it which lives in 3.audio.examples.
<br/> Every time I boot Pd starts all right, but I get errors because it can't create the abstraction.
<br/>
<br/>It's a bit weird because the very same command works like a charm once i've logged in.
<br/>
