these messages mean that you do not have a QuickTime compatible video 
capture device attached to your machine and configured correctly. 
the code we use should work with any such device, however due to the 
massive number of these device out there, there's no way for the two 
of us to test even a small percentage of them.  if you device works 
wit another QT app like the QT Broadcaster and not with GEM let us 
know and we can try and do something about it.

you do not have hardware GL acceleration.  there is a check for 
hardware acceleration and if it is not found the check fails and no 
window is created.  you either need to install the correct drivers 
for you machine and video chipset or use another machine with working 
hardware GL.

>>>i have installed pd-0.36.dmg-link.dmg on my powerbook g3 
>>>wallstreet with osx jaguar (10.2.4) , and it works fine. now i 
>>>would like to add gem which i downloaded from 
>>>http://taproot.dyndns.org/~cgc/ (gemg4)

there are a couple of problems with your setup:

- the wallstreet does not have hardware openGL support so GEM will not run
- that machine is about the minimum required to run the OS so 
real-time video and graphics are a stretch
- you got the g4 version of GEM which will crash on a g3


>>>there i got Gem.pd_darwin which should be copied in the extras 
>>>folder of pd (i think)
>>>now the question: where do i find the pd application files on the

>>>find it ,,,

the problem with that installer is that it puts pd in a location 
hidden to the Finder.  the install location is a very correct 'Unix' 
way to install things but not very 'Mac friendly'.
