[PD] pd-extended on mac os x - magic words

[Mark Polishook]

manrico + nillow -

well, as an absolute pd beginner -

i haven't had success with RC7 and pdp and pidip, even when  
specifying those libraries as startup items. too many things were  
crashing pd or not working or both. i then tried, alternatively, to  
compile the dev. ver of RC7. no success there.

so with this rocky start, i'm not sure i'm one to be offering  
advice ... having said that ....

i've since downloaded pd from miller puckette's site, compiled it as  
per instructions in the html manual. i installed gem as per  
instructions in the html manual for adding binary libraries. this  
meant putting

Gem.pd_darwin

in an 'extra' directory in the pd-0.39.3 directory and then  
specifying Gem as a startup item in the Preferences dialogue.

next step, for tomorrow, is to install pdp and pidip libraries, which  
i assume is done in the same way (put binary libraries into the  
'extra' directory, etc. and specify their presence in the Preferences  
dialogue).

meanwhile, patrick pagano suggested (thank you patrick) to use fink  
and fink commander to get additional code, as needed, that pdp and  
pidip depend on. what this additional code is, well, i'll soon find  
out, presumably from readme files and error messages.

.... documentation and help files and abstractions need to be  
installed so pd sees them ....

hope this helps!
