[PD] Gem: can't load library

[marius schebella]

hi,
may I join you in that discussion?
I understand now that the Gem package in the pd-extended is built for 
nvidia support and does not run without a nvidia card. correct?
But what I want to know is, (I don't know so much about configure 
scripting..) when I build my own Gem and have NO nvidia card, will I 
have to type --disable-NV? that would not make sense to me...
I would like to compile my Gem later today. so thnx for answers.
marius.
