How about using the "DSP and Plug-in Development" forum instead?

I think youll find you have to get into DSP for this, libraries dont have such specific audio functions and you will have to develop your own code to determine BPM. This will mean programming filters and peak detection.

"BPM counter" is not exactly a clear term. Do you want to display the current positition in a "Bars:Beats:Ticks" format, or do you want to determine the BPM from an incoming signal, or...?

just want to be able to syncronise a flashing light to the tempo of a beat being played and display the bpm

Doesn't make it any clearer IMO.
