[PD] installing Gridflow on os x 10.3.9 or 10.4.2

[Paris Treantafeles]

Hi List,

I'm trying to get Gridflow working on one of two machine - one os x  
10.3.9 the other 10.4.2 and failing at the "make" part of the  
instructions at:
http://artengine.ca/gridflow/latest/doc/ 
install.html#Installation_instructions_(incl._compilation)

- at some point in the process, i get hundreds of error of they type:
base/grid.o:81: error: stray '\2' in program
but with various other numbers for '\2'

I have fink and have installed ruby and all of the lib's mentioned on  
the above page installed.

I'm sure I'm just being stupid.

I read this:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-04/027802.html

but wonder if it's not possible to use Gridflow with Han-Christoph's  
pd-app?
The posting seems to indicate that PD itself must be compiled (item 4  
of post).

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
p
