Artificial Tango and FTM

Probably some minor error from my part, but here goes:
When trying to open an artificial tango external in a patcher i get the following message:

at.chord: unable to load object bundle executable
2009-11-03 11:33:19.029 MaxMSP[168:20b] Error loading /Applications/Max5/Cycling '74/ftm-and-co/externals/at.chord.mxo/Contents/MacOS/at.chord: dlopen(/Applications/Max5/Cycling '74/ftm-and-co/externals/at.chord.mxo/Contents/MacOS/at.chord, 262): Library

Referenced from: /Applications/Max5/Cycling '74/ftm-and-co/externals/at.chord.mxo/Contents/MacOS/at.chord
Reason: image not found

Now, I am pretty sure that the installation is done properly. The at. externals are put into the ftm externals folder, the objectlist is put into the init folder and the help files put into the ftm-&-co folder. I am using FTM 2.5.0, but i guess that should be okay.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

was wondering if you've had any luck on this since you posted!? I'm having the same problem myself and I even used the outdated version of FTM to be extra certain. I can't get the objects to load.

hmm...

The at.externals only work with the FTM version indicated. As you can see from the error message posted above it's looking for ../Frameworks/FTMlib.framework/Versions/2.3/FTMlib (relative to the location of the external). So it won't work with FTM 2.5 or anyhting else but 2.3.
At some point I gave up making updates because the version numbers and sometimes even the location of the FTM framework kept on changing constantly.

Olaf,

Thanks! Completely understandable, of course. The objects look great, and i can't wait to try them.
