you should load Gem before using [gemmouse]

afair, the [gemmouse] abstraction is not functional yet.

the advised way is to put Gem.pd_linux, all abstractions (*.pd) and all
the help-files (*-help.pd) into /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem

if you compiled Gem yourself (which i assume), and have compiled it with
the full Pd-headers (s_stuff.h) it should be able to automatically find
the abstractions. else add /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem to the path.
