...I'm running 0.39-2 on osx without problems, so I wouldn't say it's  
a general thang...

...ok, I'm not sure why you're trying to run pd from a src directory,  
usually you will want to've done "make install", which places the  
binaries in a bin/ within a directory that can be selected with  
something like "configure --prefix=":  by default I believe it's "/ 
usr/local"...

...anyway, is there a dir /Applications/pd-0.39-2/bin?  and does it  
have a pd, pdreceive, pdsend?  And also is there a pd-0.39-2/lib/pd/ 
bin, which should contain pd-watchdog, pd.tk, and pdtcl?  If not,  
then you must do make install...

...you can always run the binary version from the command line by  
explicitly including the path to the app bundle's binary...ie. if you  
have /Applications/pd.app, then you could launch this from terminal  
with:

machine:/ shell$ ./Applications/pd.app/Contents/MacOS/pd
