[PD] OSX and Tk...

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

Hello Nick, List

I tried downloading and installing tk for OSX again and I'm still having 
no luck. I have "Wish Shell" in applications. I have tcl.framework and 
tk.framework both in /library/frameworks. The wish shell works fine, I 
have PD in my home directory. 

When I run ./pd -nosound in the terminal I get a bunch of output stuff, 
buffers, channels etc. but no GUI.

I did notice something different this time, when I run pd I get a 
bouncing unkown application icon on the console. then the bouncing stops 
(I assume once PD has been loaded) I can click on the unkown icon in the 
console, in thoery to focus the GUI, but all it does is unfocus all 
windows and give me a spinning busy pointer... 

I looked in the system.log and nothing of interest... could pd be causing 
errors in other logs?

I'm using MacOS 10.1.3

Thanks
Ben
