[PD] .pdrc (was:Can't get zexy to load)

[mik]

The message you probably get, is "cannot find .pdrc" or something alike.
Put all your libraries in the folder named "extra", which automatically gets
searched by pd (if you have a recent version). start pd with -lib followed
by your libraries and the other options you want.
Or create a .pdrc file and save it to your home directory. In it you put the
command line options you want. I believe it's a new line for every option:

-rt
-lib ...
-path ...

And start reading about linux in general :).
