[PD] gem installation on mac os 10.3.9

[derek holzer]

Hi Rene,

AFAICT, the problem actually is with your flags. The .pdrc should 
probably look like this:

-lib Gem
-path /Library/Application\ Support/Pd/Gem

or

-lib Gem
-path "/Library/Application\ Support/Pd/Gem"

or

-lib Gem
-path "/Library/Application Support/Pd/Gem"

Where "-lib" is the name of theexternal you want to load on startup, and 
"-path" adds another path which PD will search for any external or 
abstraction you call.

I am still not sure how the OSX shell handles these things, but one of 
these combinations will surely give you victory.


See if that helps,
derek
