Hi!

On Mac OS X I'm using Pd 0.45.4 with a path pointing to /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra (Pd-extended 0.43.4).

I'm getting this error message on Pd 0.45.4 startup:

UNHANDLED ERROR: version conflict for package "Tk": have 8.4, need 8.5
while executing
"package require Tk 8.5"
("uplevel" body line 10)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $tclcode"
FAILED TO LOAD /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra/search-plugin/search-plugin.tcl

I checked my Tcl/Tk version, it's 8.5.9.

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Thanks for any help!

Martin

@Jojo-Lapin Do you know how to change it?

@Johnny-Mauser I did try but I get this message back from the terminal

Balandino:MacOS balandinodidonato$ cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Applications/Pd-0.46-7.app/Contents/MacOS
Balandino:MacOS balandinodidonato$ otool -lV Pd
Pd: is not an object file

@Jojo-Lapin Have I done the right thing?

Yep. And AFAIK you don't have to recompile.

Disclaimer : Must NOT work on last OS X (El Capitan).
Disclaimer : Use that (must be run sibling to the application) at your own risk.
Disclaimer : I expect you are fully understanding what you are doing.

Note that the "wish" path is set for my system (OS X 10.6).
I don't know where it is locate in the last versions.

Note that on OS X 10.6, the Tk 8.5 version is very buggy, and in that case the ActiveTCL version is a better choice.

#! /usr/bin/env bash

app="./Pd-0.46-7.app"
wish="/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Wish.app"

cp "${wish}/Contents/MacOS/Wish" "${app}/Contents/MacOS/Pd" || exit 1
cp "${wish}/Contents/version.plist" "${app}/Contents/version.plist" || exit 1

I don't really know what I did actually. I just tried to copy what you did in your previous post.
Do you mind to guide me through it?

I'm on OSX 10.11.4

Thanks for your help!

@balandino_dd

The otool blahblah was just to show the dylib command.
It doesn't matter at all in changing the Tk Framework. Forget it.

First, please make a copy of the application in its own folder to avoid the mess.
Secondly, locate the 8.5 Framework on your machine.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Wish.app
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Wish.app

@Jojo-Lapin what do you mean by

First. Please make a copy of the Application in its own folder to avoid the mess.

is not Pd already in its own folder? Sorry for the stupid question but I do not really understand.

I mean just make a copy of the Pd application. If you change its contents it could break it.

It seems (after searching on the web) that many things changed with El Capitan.
Concerning the location of the frameworks and security signatures...
Frankly i doubt i can do it without a properly set machine in front of me (and a couple of days).

Sorry.

AAAAAAA!!!!!! I guess that I have to swap to max in the next few days then... That's so annoying.

@balandino_dd No........ just delete the search-plugin folder. In vanilla I doubt that you even have the "help" "search" menu item available, which means that you don't have access to it anyway......
You will still have the "find" dialog for searching within patches........

@Jojo-Lapin I tried your terminal commands with OSX 10.8.5, pd 0.46-7, and activeTCL 8.6.4. Unfortunatly i - ignored Disclaimer - didn't really understand what i was doing. So thats what happened:

1. There is no version.plist in the wish app so i updatet the version-nr in that plist file in pd-app by hand
2. it worked, now i can use the plugins. e.g. drag&drop (for patches), plugins plugin..
3. other things don't work anymore ore react strange. worst: right mouse click doesn't work, deken doesnt work
   maybe i try with pd-0.47, and tk 8.5 later.
   Big THANKS allready, i miss the plugins for quite a while now!

@Johnny-Mauser

"Unfortunately i - ignored Disclaimer -..."

AhAh, that's the reason why most of the times i avoid to post scripts.
People never respect the warnings.
And i am probably the first that doesn't!

ActiveTCL doesn't have any version.plist provided with, it works perfectly without.
