"placed within the "libraries" folder of your Processing sketchbook"
That's what I have read... Not quite the same thing...
Also:
"To find the Processing sketchbook location on your computer, open the Preferences window from the Processing application and look for the "Sketchbook location" item at the top."
That Sketchbook is where you save all your sketches.

i'm having the same problem--and I have checked, double-checked, triple-checked, and quadrupal-checked the location of my "librairies" folder which resides in my sketchbook location:

"/Users/mac/_CODE/Processing"

the "libraries" folder is inside there, and within "libraries", I just installed, for example, the "controlP5.jar".

yet, when I run one of the controlP5 test files ("ControlP5bang.pde"), I get this error:

"The package "controlP5" does not exist. You might be missing a library."

"Note that release 1.0, libraries must be installed in a folder named 'libraries' inside the 'sketchbook' folder."

Undecided

???

Reply #6 - Apr 18^th, 2010, 6:37pm I place the libraries in the package itself. ctrl-click Processing package, Show Package Contents. Navigate to /Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/ Alternatively, you can drag a jar file onto the sketch.. if you're just looking for a one off to a specific sketch.

I have the same question about the libraries, but still can't figure it out.
Can someone help
Thanks,
