Hi!

Just in case, make sure:
1. that the libraries you've downloaded reside under the "<SKETCHBOOK>/libraries" folder where <SKETCHBOOK> designates your sketchbook folder;

2. Under the "<SKETCHBOOK>/libraries" folder, each library has its own subfolder. For example, for controlP5, the archive contains a "documentation", a "examples" and a "library" folder. The "library" folder of the archive is the one which contains the jar (controlP5.jar). Hence, the controlP5.jar shall reside in "<SKETCHBOOK>/libraries/controlP5/library/controlP5.jar";

3. Make sure to restart Processing when you install a library as explained in the previous 2 points as the newly downloaded and installed libraries don't show up until you restart Processing.

If the above doesn't solve your problem, i don't know...

What do you mean by "won't show up"?
Where? In File > Sketchbook > libraries? In Sketch > Import library?
In the former case, it is normal: only libraries with examples are visible here.
In the latter case, it is more annoying. What system do you have?

Can you confirm that when you install the libraries you actually unzip their zipfiles under "documents/processingskechtes/libraries"

If so, what are the libraries that "show up"  Are there only a handful of them (say "video", "serial" and two or three others), which would probably indicate that the ones you "see" are only the standard ones that come with the distribution

As asked by PhiLho, do you mean by not showing up that they don't appear when you browse the menu under Sketch -> Import library
