-r is not the equivalent of -a; -r applies only to directory; in this case it's 
completely useless; in the case of GridFlow, -a isn't even so useful; maybe 
that I should have used ln -s instead anyway. In GridFlow 0.8.5 (CVS only), -a 
is gone.

You should not copy that directory. Instead, use ln -s to create an alias, or 
add a -path line to "~/.pdrc".

On Linux, this would be because you didn't load Gem before gridflow, so you'd 
have to do this:

   -lib Gem -lib gridflow

But I remember that with Koray I tried to do it and it didn't work, and we 
traced it back to the "private mode" that Pd uses in loading .pd_darwin files, 
which prevents GridFlow from accessing anything in GEM.

To fix that problem, you have to modify the Pd source code, or switch to Linux, 
or use a version of Pd that doesn't have that problem (if there's one).
