[PD-dev] problem making Pd.app with TclTk-8.4.9

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I am having no luck getting it running properly with 8.4.9.  Your  
PixelTANGO.app works for me.  Anything I can do to jog your memory as  
to how you got it working?

I have a hunch: starting with MacOS X 10.3, the Tcl.framework 8.4.4 is  
included, but not the Tk.framework.  I noticed that  
usr/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib is a link to   
/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Tcl (8.4.4)  So  
maybe you created all of the links in /usr/local/lib to 8.4.9 and that  
worked.

I am going to try some rendition of that idea...
