It looks like Pd wasn't installed, or was installed in a different
location than default.  In OSXPM.app
(http://www.osxgnu.org/info/pkgdelete.html ), under the "Delete
Package" tab, please tell me the names of all of the packages starting
with "pd" that are installed.

The .app file won't work without /usr/local/bin/pd working because the
.app just calls /usr/local/bin/pd.
