Re: SCClassLIbrary as symlink crashes interpreter on Linux

excellent.

here's the same thing but a little bit tidier...

Server.default.options.ugenPluginsPath = [
	Platform.resourceDir+/+"plugins",
	Platform.userExtensionDir,
	"~/ttest/f0plugins".standardizePath,	//custom path
];

and in theory, under macOS Platform.systemExtensionDir should also be included as the server searches that folder too for plugins by default.  but it'll give you an error if it doesn't exist (you'd have to check if it's there already and then add it to ugenPluginsPath) and also no one ever put stuff in there anyways.


so then it's just the question left with tremblap crashing under Linux...
"It crashes on Linux still for me so good to know about the .config"

is it the interpreter crashing (.sc class files)?  or is it the server complaining about missing plugins (.so files)?
both paum and i could use symlinks for adding classes it seems.
