On some machines my standalone won't find sound folders.

•error : buffer~: Macintosh : can't open

On other machines everythings works fine.

I use ubumenu and the error mesage is :
•error : buffer~: Macintosh : can't open

The Harddisk is called "Macintosh HD" and your patch doesn't work if 

Always use a directory with spaces in the path to develop patches that 

should be portable, saves you some headaches.

When constructing a filepath in your patch, make sure that either your 

symbols stay symbols all the time (use jaschs objects or use sprintf 

with symout, the later works only in recent versions) or use "tosymbol"

wild but somewhat educated guess:
The Harddisk is called "Macintosh HD" and your patch doesn't work if 
the path contains spaces.

When constructing a filepath in your patch, make sure that either your 
symbols stay symbols all the time (use jaschs objects or use sprintf 
with symout, the later works only in recent versions) or use "tosymbol" 
at the end.

wild but somewhat great guess indeed
Thanks a lot
