I downloaded Gem 0.93.3 and put it in the same folder as my Pd app. I then learned that I could download and install it from the help menu, which I did, and it worked. I was able to run example patches and build simple patches of my own using the Gem objects.

After this I tried deleting and re-installing Pd and Gem several times, using both 0.48 and 0.47 versions, with the result being that all or some of the Gem objects won't work. I did notice that newer Pd installations was try to find a folder I created during an earlier installation, which makes me think I'm not successfully deleting everything. However, I can't find any obvious Pd folders on my drive when I search.
