hi claude,
maybe pdlua is the problem, but I think I rather messed up the lua 
installation itself. I used fink to install the latest lua version (5.1) 
and lua-dev, which is probably not the same as luaGL???
is luaGL a part of lua, or is luaGL a standalone lua library with built 
in GL? i.e. do I have to compile lua with luaGL or only luaGL?
and after I compiled lua (luaGL?) and pdlua, and added -lib lua to the 
pd startup, is that all I have to do to get your example patches 
working? or am I missing another step?

ok, I suppose that is where the canvas_load error comes from.

thanks so far!
