hi, sorry for the confusion ...

so, we're talking windows (7/64bit) here:

the file i had to change in order to make Gem load on a self-compiled PD 
was "pthreadVC.dll".

after succesful compilation the "bin" folder contained "pthreadVC.dll" 
with a modified date of 03.12.2018, so i figure that this .dll was 
created during the compilation process.

i exchanged this "pthreadVC.dll" with a version that has a modified date 
of 03.04.2002. this file is included in the recent puredata .zip package 
from miller's site (pd 0.49)

after that action, Gem.dll loaded and worked alright.
no other .dlls had to be changed.

best
