Thanks EEight, it worked!

I added the object
[declare -stdpath /extra/cyclone| (one for each library and it went fine),

cheers,

Hi,
my platform is: Pd Vanilla 0.47, OSX-Yosemite, MacBook-PRo,

I'm starting with Vanilla, trying to use my old PD-Extended objects.
So I installed the cyclone, iemlib and jimmp libraries in my computer using DENKEN plugin,
installation worked fine, but...
objects can't be created,

I tried including the library names in the Startup but no solution yet,

any ideas?

thanks!

ok, thanks for the help!

@whale-av
well seems we got something!
using TextWangler I overwrote hosts file copying the default data into it:

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1     localhost
255.255.255.255     broadcasthost
::1             localhost 
fe80::1%lo0     localhost

and PD started!

only problem is that when I restart the computer
the host file is overwritten with the old data and back to the same problem,

Does anyone know how to avoid this?

thanks

Here's my hosts file
hosts

ping from terminal seems ok,

thnx

The lines are ok, just checked them, they are exactly as you wrote,

really strange, all other apps work perfectly,

I also upgraded to OSX 10.10 just in case but no solution either,

For those who just entered the thread:

• PD doesn't launch on my MAcBook pro OSX 10.10,
  (I've been using it 100% ok for two years)
• host file seems ok
• threw away org.pd files as suggested
• also tried deleting and re installing application
• every thing else works fine on the computer

any more ideas would be greately appreciated as I am working on a project which requires PD on my laptop

Yeah, problem is I have no idea about what to change inside the file,

Yeah, seems that settings for localhost are corrupt,
but I don't know how to debug it.

Tried -noprefs flag with no sucess,

then with -nogui got this:

Hi,
I tried starting with -noaudio flag and no change, always getting:

WARNING: connect to pd failed, retrying port localhost:5400

Hi Seb,

trying form OPEN didn't work either,

in tried lauching Pd from terminal,
Pd icon starts to bounce and I get the following message:

   WARNING: connect to pd failed, retrying port localhost:5400.
