It's because [midifile] sets "midifile-help" as the help symbol
instead of just "midifile", so Pd looks for
"midifile-help-help.pd".</p>

<p>Apparantly, this has been fixed in Purr Data, btw.<br>

Yes, because the mrpeach library doesn't contain a binary named
mrpeach. In case of mrpeach, it is sufficient to just add the path.
Preferably, you add the path with [declare -path mrpeach] in your
patch, rather than in the Pd configuration. This makes your patch more
portable.

You don't see a message, because no external is loaded at start up
(only the path is added). This is unlike the zexy library, which comes
with a zexy binary and which prints something to the console when
loaded. However, from what I understand, if a specific external prints
a message at load time is purely optional. So that is not necessarily
an indicator.

Do you have an idea what I could try to do?
