[PD] installing on OSX

[Adam Lindsay]

Hello, Alex.

When you say "running slow," do you mean that the Tk gui updates
sporadically? That's a factor of not running the latest Tcl/Tk.

Also, are you using the html documentation online, because Miller has
actually updated it compared to the docs in the distribution:
 <http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/x3.htm#s1.4>

With the bad directory problem... did you copy the whole folder into your
/Applications directory?


If list old-timers will excuse the plug, Alex, you can also use the
alternative MacOSX double-clickable .pkg installers I've put at:
    <http://homepage.mac.com/atl/pd/installers.html>
Both include a recent Tcl/Tk for 10.2.x, and install the files at /usr/
local/pd. The "Extended" package includes some Mac-like GUI tweaks, too.

Hope something in there is a help.
