Right, I forgot you need to have Wish Shell.app installed to run pd
from the command line on Mac OS X. You can either install this:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcltkaqua/TclTkAqua-8.4.9.dmg?
download
or open Pd, go to Preferences -> Startup... and add -stderr to the
startup flags.
Then you can view the Pd output by running
/Applications/Utilities/Console.app.
