Hello all!

Ok, I'm pretty new here, as well as to PD... This forum looks pretty sweet!

I'm trying to use pmpd in a patch. Unfortunately, some boxes from the pmpd exemples appear missing (dashed red line in the patch). Is there any reason why this would happen? Is it due to the path (I just changed one path to get my patches and files to work in PD, but, obviously, I didn't write down what it was before I changed it. it's the second last that I changed, though)...

Thanks!

i'll take a wild stab in the dark and guess you don't have GEM installed.

maybe get pd extended: http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html

it includes pmpd too.

Hi!
Alright, I didn't give enough details, sorry about that
So my PD versiob is 0.40.3-extended-20071117 and it runs on OS X Leopard. So it's supposed to come with pmpd... Also Gem works well (as far as I can tell) but a bunch of libraries won't load.
Anyway, here's an example of what I get in the console:

And here's what I changed in the paths:

Cheers!

if you use the version of pd extended that i linked above, it will work straight away.

Ok, I'll try it tonight... Thanks!

Hmm, this is very strange. I just tried the version linked above on another macintel (my own is a powerpc, and I get the very same problem), and it still doesn't work.

Here's what I mean : is this example, iAmbient2d and iCircle2d won't work. I think they both are .c files, am I right? Maybe there is some issue with .c files on mac systems?

hmm...it just worked straight up for me...on a macintel too

not sure if i can help you, but some more questions about pd on the other mac..

has pd ever been installed on that mac before? if so, look for a .pdrc file or a file called org.puredata.plist. except for the one housed inside your new pd package, delete them.

do you still get those messages in the console at startup...eg: zexy - can't load library
?? especially pmpd - can't load library

you definitely got this one: http://idmi.poly.edu/pdlab/Pd-0.39.3-extended-rc5/Pd-0.39.3-extended-rc5-macosx104-i386.dmg

one thing you can do to help us figure the problem out is:

ctrl-click on the Pd-extended icon and then click 'Show Package Contents'. then open the Contents folder, and find or.puredata.new.plist and attach a copy of it to a reply on this forum.

Ok, now PMPD on your 0.39.3 extended version works on my powerpc (the very same version, but for intel, didn't work earlier today, for some reason). This is really excellent! Thanks so much!!!

coool. if you get a good result with pmpd let us know.

Sure!

This thing has so much potential, it makes me dizzy.
