I have followed the instructions but I just keep getting an error message - "The package "procontroll" doe not exist. You might be missing a library". I have put it just about everywhere and still get the same message!! AAGGH!! PLease help!!

And, perhaps, your system. And "just everywhere" isn't very precise...

In this version, you must have a 'libraries' folder in your sketchbook. There, you should unzip the libraries, which must have at least the structure <library name>/library/<library name>.jar

So final path is:

<sketchbook name>/libraries/<library name>/library/<library name>.jar

where <sketchbook name> is defined in the Processing preferences.

After installing a library, you must re-start the PDE.
