yeah that is what was happening
it keeps loading the old one here instead of seeing the new one in my
pd-externals dir:


so I replaced the old plugin~ in /flatspace/ with todays build
deleted the old paths to the /plugin~ dir I created

launched PdX and console message was:
tried /usr/lib/pd/extra/flatspace/plugin~.pd_linux and succeeded

I opened my test patch: 'plugin~June9.pd'

tried /usr/lib/pd/extra/flatspace/plugin~.pd_linux and succeeded
verbose( 1):plugin~: found plugin "amp" in library
"/usr/lib/ladspa/amp_1181.so"
verbose( 1):plugin~: constructed plugin "Simple amplifier" successfully
verbose( 1):plugin~: plugin ports: audio 1/1 ctrl 1/0
verbose( 1):plugin~: plugin active
plugin~: "Simple amplifier"


then I sent down both [listplugins] and [info]
but they still make PdX crash

I launched pd -stderr

and got the following:

not sure what else to try...

***another question I have is:
if I get
verbose( 1):plugin~: plugin ports: audio 1/1 ctrl 1/0

in the console when a plugin instantiates then
what is the correct nomenclature to use when using this external in a patch?
