I assume you are using this:

http://developer.runrev.com/externals/ExternalsEnvironmentV4.zip

I assume you are using this tutorial:

http://www.runrev.com/newsletter/november/issue13/newsletter5.php
and
http://www.runrev.com/newsletter/november/issue14/newsletter3.php

I don't know of anything later.  

I'm sure folks here would be pleased to help in the muddling.  


I'm assuming you have not done anything interesting concerning the name and location of your "My LiveCode" folder.

Did you copy the external (say "external4pete.bundle") to the appropriate ones of these?

~/Documents/My LiveCode/Externals
~/Documents/My LiveCode/RunTime/Mac OS X/Universal/Externals

(Change "Universal" if need be.)

Did you add the external name (say "Pete's External,external4pete.bundle") on a separate line to Externals.txt for each folder you put it in?  

Does the LC IDE preferences (page Files and Memory) show the right location for user extensions (say, "Users/pete/Documents/My LiveCode")?


Or can you even find the external to copy?
