Hello David, I simply replaced the hosts file with the default example and now pd works. Cheers. the old line looked like: ##\n# Host Database\n#\n# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface\n# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.\n##\n127.0.0.1 localhost\n255.255.255.255 broadcasthost\n::1 localhost \nfe80::1%lo0 localhost

Hello David-thanks for your reply, the latest pd version doesnt do anything at all. click on it and nothing happens. an older version (4) does try to boot, but after 17 secs it hangs. so says console, without further explaining why. i've looked at the local host file, this had the localhost addrs as in your default example (although the file did looked a bit different than the examples i've seen), didnt saw the error mssg you reffered too, when looking at the console for error msgs.

Hello, i cant get pd extended to work with osx 10.9.5. Anyone a suggestion. I tried older versions, i tried x11 new and old.

thanks
