Hello!

I was trying to test csoundapi~ with pd 0.40 but get this error

C:\\Program Files\\pd\\extra\\csoundapi~.dll: couldn't load
 csoundapi~

I'm on windows with csound 5.08-f and pd-extended 0.40

The file csapi_demo.csd is in the same directory as csoundapi~.dll and 
csoundapi.pd and pd is started from the command-line from this 
directory. I'm probably missing something fundamental, but I would 
really appreciate if someone who has this working would guide me through 
it!

many thanks, atir

Try adding it to the 'startup items'. That is how I load it here. However
starting pd from the command-line with

pd -lib csoundapi~

should also do the trick. However, it should have worked the way you said,
because if I start pd from the command-line in the same directory as
csoundapi~.dll, I can create a new csoundapi~ object.
What I can't do in this situation is to go and try to open capi_demo.csd in
another directory, then csoundapi~ is not found.

However I never get the message: couldn't load. That only happens if
I have already loaded csoundapi~ with a startup item and then try
to load it again with -lib

Victor, thanks for replying.

I tried both, and get the same message:

csoundapi~: can't load library

csoundapi~ is in the directory C:\Program Files\pd\extra

I added csoundapi~ to the startup items. Then I start pd from C:\Program 
Files\pd\extra. No error message now. But, if I open the patch 
csoundapi.pd, then there is the error message again,

C:\\Program Files\\pd\\extra\\csoundapi~.dll: couldn't load
 csoundapi~ csapi_demo.csd
... couldn't create

csapi_demo.csd is also in C:\\Program Files\\pd\\extra

If, from C:\\Program Files\\pd\\extra I execute pd with

pd -lib csoundapi~

I get:

.\\csoundapi~.dll: couldn't load
csoundapi~: can't load library

As said, i'm using Pd version 0.40.3-extended-20080309, from the 
installers of Hans-Christoph Steiner. Everything else from csound works 
as it should, as do most of the pd things.

many many thanks!

My pd is 0.38, I will try downloading 0.40 to see if it works
any different.

Just downloaded 0.04.3 (from yesterday's build) and csoundapi~ loads
without any problems. Btw, this is my own csoundapi~, built from sources.

Perhaps a missing DLL?

It's difficult to say because PD is not saying why it can't load, or
what it is missing. I guess check that csound32.dll.5.1 (or csound64.dll.5.1),
libsndfile.dll.1 (or something like that) are in your path. It might
also be the case to check if Python25.dll is present as well.

well, if I do, in the command-line,

echo %PATH%

there are, among others,  these directories

C:\Program Files\Csound\bin  --> here there are the files 
csound32.dll.5.1, libsndfile.dll.1
C:\WINDOWS\system32  --> here there's the file python25.dll (which is 
also present in some other directories, if I look the whole drive)

csoundapi~ is found, but pd still claims that it cannot load it. I will 
try to install pd again, maybe I got a faulty build, for some reason.

many thanks for looking into it!
