[PD] Gridflow path...(the second chance)

[Patrick Boivin]

Hi Jose,

I don't really understand your problem.

Is it that you can't create the folder in "/Library" ? In that case,
it might require superuser privileges (not on my 10.5 machine but I
think I remember it being different on 10.6). Open a Terminal window
and:

$ sudo mkdir /Library/Pd
$ sudo mv /Users/Jose/Desktop/gridflow-9.10/gridflow /Library/Pd/

(wherever you unpacked it...)

Or is it that you can't add the path to GridFlow in Pd ? In that case,
you don't need to add the path in Pd directly, at least for
Pd-extended... not sure about vanilla. All you need to do is make sure
the whole gridflow folder goes in /Library/Pd and add "gridflow" to
the list of libraries that get loaded when you open Pd. That is under
the menu Pd-extended -> Preferences -> Startup... Click "New", type in
"gridflow", click OK, click OK again, and restart Pd.

I hope that helps...


Patrick
