    It would really make my day if anyone out there knows how to do this....

    ... Oh, I forgot, it helps if you have the OSX dev tools installed too, must be some terminal shit that requires the extra libraries.

    You need tcltk.

    Well, running VST isn't actually a problem on OSX, apart from in LOGIC, That I agree was a bloody minded attempt for apple to abuse it's ownership of emagic and jump start a new format.
    But, as a format AU is actually much better in the long term. The main difference to me is that a VST effect is never truly mono, when you add a vst effect to a mono channel its just becoming mono again at its output stage, so in effect (no pun intended) it is processing all mono sources twice, which is a waste of cpu time for whenever you are dealing with mono inputs. If you take a look at the difference in CPU load in Logic when using a mono pluggin compared to a stereo one it is fairly big now, whereas in the old logic the difference between mono and stereo VST's was quite minimal.

    There have been a few slightly messed up osx installers for pd, I strongly recomend deleting all your pd and tclk stuff and finding another installer. One problem I came across was the installer making 2 instances of the "wish" app. This caused my mac to lose all my audio ins and outs... including the internal speakers!!!
    If this happens to you the only way I found to sort it out was to run a system update from the OSX update panel. It doesn't seem to matter what you install as long as it requires a system restart. I am assuming this zaps your PRAM and gets core to re-initialize itself. I would point you in the direction of a good installer package, but I can't for the life of me remember what one worked in the end. There is one out there though, and it runs on my 500mhz laptop very well now.
