...welcome!  As a first suggestion, you might want to check the list  
archives before posting:  you can access them from the link  
before...in this case, this is a well known problem, with no good  
answer yet:

...there is really only a kludge-y way to fix this, and that is to  
get the pdp.pd_darwin in the extended-RC5 release and replace the one  
in RC8 with it...

...aside to Hans:  if I remember correctly, you are just building  
from the pdp in externals?  I just got around to comparing it with  
the pdp-0.12.4 that I had compiled, and it seems there are some  
header differences:  I'll try to build both again and see if that  
makes a difference here...certainly "otool -L pdp.pd_darwin" doesn't  
provide any illumination...

...check the archives for a fix: this is not fatal, but means that  
one or two pidip objects won't work...

...well, I imagine that the x11 would need to be installed on the  
partition that has the osx system files, and would probably refuse to  
install elsewhere...

...was that kind enough?  ;-)
