processing-gpx The Package "Tomc" does not exist

Hi there,

I have a limited understanding of processing but believe I have grasped the basics.

I have copied the code, and extracted the "processing-gpx-master" folder into my processing 2.0b6 sketch library but I am getting the following message...

the package "tomc" does not exist. You might be missing a library

but as far as I am aware, I have followed your instructions. the folder does not come into my "Sketch/Import Library..." drop down menu like the other folders I have in the same folder.

Any help would be appreciated.

The folder should be called "gpx" and be placed in "Processing/libraries" so that it looks like this:

(For orientation: in that screenshot I only have one sketch in my Processing sketchbook and it's called "method_sketch").

I currently have it in the same location as you. The reason it cant find it is because I dont have it...I have all the same files as you except the "test.gpx.xml" & the "tomc" folder?

I downloaded the folder from https://github.com/RandomEtc/processing-gpx as instructed on http://wiki.processing.org/w/GPS_Data#Downloads.

Is the file I am zipping wrong, or is it the "tomc" folder missing?

You only need the gpx/library/gpx.jar and gpx/library/exports.txt files. I just deleted the other things and tested and it still works.

Hi, I have the same problem of "ministu".

I am getting the following message

"the package "tomc" does not exist. You might be missing a library"

This message appear also if I delete the other things and use gpx/library/gpx.jar and gpx/library/exports.txt

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Daniele and Minitsu,

I downloaded the .zip file wich contain the folder name: "processing-gpx-master" with a bunch of files AND the "library" folder inside (wich contains the gpx.jar and the "export.txt" file).

What I did was:

Created a new folder in the Processing library, named gpx (path for my version in windows ==> C:\processing-2.2.1\modes\java\libraries
Then, copied all the elements (files and folder) of the "processing-gpx-master" folder, inside the new "gpx" folder.

This is how it looks:

I restarted processing, and then Sketch ==> Import Library ==> gpx

Processing will import it and write the famous "tomc.gpx.*" that you were not able to find:

hope this solves the issue
