I fixed it now, but I don't know if this is not a bug in pd 0.40:
The problem is, that canvas-local search path really tread each path as
local to the canvas-path ( see line 1561 in g_canvas.c).
So if you add e.g. /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/iemmatrix, it will search for
this path, but local to the canvas path - so if I started Pd from
/home/me it will search in /home/me//usr/local/lib/pd/extra/iemmatrix !
Is this a feature or a bug of Pd ?
I fixed it now in libdir.c, so that I add
../../usr/local/lib/pd/extra/iemmatrix to the canvas-local search path
instead of /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/iemmatrix ...
But I cannot guarantee that this will also work on windows ...
LG
