[PD] Re: Mac OS X installer with library documentation

[Paris Treantafeles]

Hi,

I just got around to installing this and was wondering if it only runs 
on 10.3?
I am using OS X v 10.2.8 and can run previous pd mac version pd-0.38-2 
but when i try to run this one nothing happens at all.

Thanks,
paris
