allright.
Pd-extended often makes it a bit difficult to isolate things like that.

this is how i do it (and it's probably a good idea :-)

- - go to plugin-sources
- - compile with scons
- - run Pd with the "-noprefs" flag
- - open your plugin~-testpatch

so the trick is to use "-noprefs", which will make Pd(X) ignore the
.pdsettings/.pdrc, so no libraries are loaded by default nor any paths
are added but the "standard" ones ("extra/")

good.

bad.

when does it crash?
when sending "listplugins" or when sending "info", or still with both?

unfortunately this gives loads of uninteresting info, and no interesting
info.

better would be:
$ cd path/to/plugin~
$ pd -noprefs -stderr -verbose -verbose plugin~-June08.pd


and see if something more interesting comes out of it.

also;
would it be possible to run it within gdb?

and/or send me the test-patch and your /usr/lib/ladspa/amp_1181.so
