Help! I'm having problems with poly~ not working

When I open the poly~ help file I get the following in the Max window:

poly~: jpatchline_new: outlet index out of range

The problem appeared whe I was looking at Pete Batchelor's Clatter patch - no audio from the scrubscreen and similar messages in the Max window.

Everything else I do seems to be working...

By chance max over here couldn't find the lcd object. Relaunching max dit not help, but restarting the computer did.

the out~ object is where it should be and I can create one, but when I look at it's help file, Max window reads:

- and if I double click on the [out~1] in the help file, the 1-Out~ is pink (bogus object?) with 9 inlets & outlets - er...!

- spotted it - the IRCAM spat folder also has Out~ (same name but obviously different...) - ditched that & all fine except for the message:

not sure if it's stopping anything from working though.

no such luck here - still not working...

The spat~ library that you're using is not Max 4 compatible. You probably need to find a newer version.

it's likely that you have a file called listfunnel somewhere in your search path.

I do have listfunnel, but it seems to be part of the standard Max distribution. The MultiThreading sub-patcher (in poly~.maxhelp) uses it.

It appears that I had another version (in a lloop.externals folder) - I transferred all sorts of old stuff over to my Max 5 folder when I upgraded & it looks like I need to spoend some time seeimg just what works & what doesn't. Sorry for time wasting
