Error loading OMPitchField 3.0

Loading OMPitchFIeld gives the error:

Error while loading the library OMPitchField:
The directory “sources” does not exist in
#P*C:/OPT/OM/LIBRARIES/OMPitchField
3.0/sources/database.lisp*.*

Hi,

Can you try again to unzip the archive, and check if the directory sources inside the OMPitchfield 3.0 library is there?

And by the way which OM version are you using?

sources is there - using 7.3
By the way, the same error came up with OMPitchField 2.0

Seeing similar problems with other libraries. Is this a problem introduced with OM 7.3?

Ok it seems there is something wrong with this library.
I will check it out and see the problem. Meanwhile can you please report the other non working libraries so i can fix this issue?

Dear mwolfthal,

Ok the problem seems very simple. concerning the OMPitchField library, once you unzip the library, you should put the folder contained in it called OMPitchField 3.0 (same as the uncompressed folder in your library path. This is the reason why OM is not locating the REAL library. It seems it was not packaged as expected sorry for this inconvenience.

Best regards
K

I have set my library to d:\opt\om\libraries. In this directory I already have “OMPitchField 3.0”. Isn’t that what you are recommending?

The problem is not the library path. It is the OMPItchField folder:
If you open the folder you will see it contains the REAL library folder ‘OMPitchField 3.0’

When I open the zip archive this is what I get
Archive: OMPitchField.3.0.zip

Inside the zip archive, there is a folder. Inside this folder there is another which has thwe same name: named “OMPItchField 3.0” . Put this last folder in the libraries’ path and it will do the trick.

Not to be a nuisance, but I redownloaded the zip file from github. There is no nested directory \OMPitchField 3.0\OMPitchField 3.0
as you can see from the listing I posted above.

Yes this is correct.
I don’t know why i had in my archive under windows 11 this problem.
Please can you try to restore the library’s path to C://Users/youracount/OM/Libraries and see if this works?

Ok tried to replicate your path and it works, although it is a strange place to create some documents outside your account. so what i suspect, is that you have some permission issues to read there, but i am not sure about this.

It turns out that the sources directory was actually missing, don’t know why. So that is resolved. But there are some other strange behaviors. Loading Streamsep failed because OM was looking for C:/opt/om/libraries/Streamsep even though the library path was D:/opt/om/libraries.

There is unfortunately a limitation in om’s 32bit version: All paths must be in C:
So that;'s why OM assumes that the lib is in C: and not in D:
we will try to improve this in the upcoming 64bit version.

However, it did load all the other libraries from a path under D:
then tried to load the one I mentioned from the same path under C;
