yeah, this is how i start it too. i tried it on my main laptop and it doesn't have the startup problem i mentioned before. so there must be something different on the other box i first tried it on. export LANG also works fine here.

could be, but on the second look, it seems that the problem comes from the pd server, as it didn't get started and printed out all the options as if i have given it the wrong command option. any idea? again, i can't repeoduce this on my main laptop.
