It didnt do anything or post any error, just command not found if i
remember well, this is why i tried sudo

I have installed the latest updates for this version of OSX (10.3.9) 
just in case there was something wrong.

i tried again now, i copy from the mac console output

xx$ /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd 
-stderr
set it
sh: line 1: /Applications/Wish Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish Shell : No
such file or directory

and stays there, i need to do control+Z to stop de process
weird isnt it? And i havent even tried opening the patch that causes the
crash

I try now with latest millers distro, 0.39-2
well ... funny, it does work, just the two externals I use are missing 
(xsample and pyext).
I copy the externals from your distro into millers.
I get some weird errors I didnt get before coming from the xsample 
object but it does not crash and pyext runs fine.

I try now with command line.
Pd-0.39-2 runs ok, yours did the same as i described above.
xx$ /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd 
-stderr
set it
sh: line 1: /Applications/Wish Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish Shell : No
such file or directory
