So, I've got an older computer that I've been running a PD/GEM patch on for a number of years, and it's been consistently performing until recently when it began crashing once or twice a day. I seem to be getting the same sort of report from console and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this while I try and sort this out.

I keep getting this in every log for the most part, I can post more... nothing has been changed or updated recently, it's been kind of just a computer I have to test and run things on, so I'm confused to as where this new issue could be coming from....

Hi, I've begun the compiling process and I've run into an issue when attempting to install that in Error 1 (ignored) messages being produced when trying to install nonCVS files etc.

PD-Extended will run after the compilation ends (following these errors) and while it runs (it would appear) I am having errors with certain objects like pix_filmQT being unable to locate video files.

Any idea where I went wrong? I've spent most of the day walking through the process and was hoping to have some level of resolution.

Hello Everyone.

So, I'm attempting to run PD/Gem on a 10.5.6 leopard mac and have run into issues that may or may not have to do with the computer being 64 bit and PD Extended 0.41.4 being 32 bit.... is anyone out there running it successfully with video and GL? Is there a 64 bit version of PD extended for Intel Mac that I'm just totally overlooking? I'm basically having malloc errors crash the program after running normally without jumps in CPU etc.

Hi...

I'm currently looking at PD-Extended 0.41.4 not being able to handle playing back 1920 x 1080 video files. My patch is hyper-simple.... just loading two layers of 1920 x 1080 HD video files... switching videos in and out as they play using a shell command. unfortunately this process needs to continue stably for longer than a few hours (which is all I've got right now).... When I let things run, PD crashes and I get the following error in Console.

8/25/09 1:38:48 PM [0x0-0x18018].org.puredata.pd.wish[271] pd(272,0xa03ce720) malloc: *** mmap(size=4149248) failed (error code=12)
8/25/09 1:38:48 PM [0x0-0x18018].org.puredata.pd.wish[271] *** error: can't allocate region

8/25/09 1:38:48 PM [0x0-0x18018].org.puredata.pd.wish[271] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'

Any ideas? Thoughts? I'm not currently on the computer with the patch, but I can post sample content that is causing this crash later.... This is happening on a quad core Intel-Xeon Mac with 4 GB of memory.

Memory allocation and Malloc is an area where I'm less than confident and would great appreciate some insight into why this is going on.... or may be going on.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I've been running into an issue with a piece that has been running normally on Tiger for several years. Unfortunately the machine had to have the OS reinstalled and Apple went ahead and upgraded the system to Leopard and unfortunately I'm without the re-install discs to step back to Tiger.

So, I upgraded the PD/GEM version to 0.40.03 extended in order to get the piece to run but unfortunately this new crashing issue is occurring.

The piece is designed to record, save and playback video files and do so automatically when the patch is open. I'm using "pix_video" to record files.... If I delete "pix_video" there is no issue, but with pix_video in the patch, the error occurs and PD crashes within ten seconds of opening.

Is anyone else running into this? Any solutions/comments/diatribes?

So, when opening PD 0.40.3 the PD window is displaying the following errors

"maxlib: can't load library
zexy: can't load library"

on a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon G5 running 10.5.6...

Additionally though, I am also noticing that objects like "oneshot" and "onebang" are no longer being recognized as objects within my patches.

I'm curious about the actual stability of the most recent release of PD in regards to running it on Leopard 10.5.6

Anyway, does anyone have insight? Further info?

Nico
