ok I've switched by slashed and I now I'm getting this

/Program Files/pd/bin/pd -lib /Program Files/pd/gem/gem-0.90.1/: can't load library

what exactly am I trying to point to? the .dll file or something else?

I'm trying to use GEM on Windows XP and I'm having trouble specifying the pathway for startup

I have the following

\Program Files\pd\bin\pd -lib /Program Files/pd/gem/gem-0.90.1

I get the following response:

consistency check failed: sys_decodedialog: \{+Program+_Filespdbinpd+_-lib+_/Program+_Files/pd/gem/gem-0.90.1\}

My guess is I have some serious syntax errors. Any help?
