[PD] PD Mac OS X installers

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

(I am CC'ing the list because your message has useful info)

This current install on my pure-data.org page has a version of GEM  
optimized for G4 in it already.  To enable it, you need to add this  
line to your ~/.pdrc:

-lib Gem

There are a few other libs which are included in this install.  To use  
them, you need:
				 -lib iemlib1
				 -lib iemlib2
				 -lib iem_mp3
				 -lib iem_t3_lib
				 -lib pdp
				 -lib zexy

For GEM and PDP, you'll need to install a number of libraries as well.   
I use http://Fink.sf.net to install them.  If you have fink installed  
already, running this command will install everything you need:

sudo apt-get install glut glut-shlibs gsl-shlibs libpng-shlibs libpng3  
libpng3-shlibs libquicktime0-shlibs libmpeg libmpeg-shlibs ffmpeg
