Is this a persistent or intermittent problem? 

If its intermittent, have you checked to make sure that nothing else is using 
your chosen OSC port (often 57110)? In my experience, if PD can't listen on 
your chosen port, it doesn't give you a helpful error message, it just acts 
as if the object doesn't exist.

Try:

# netstat -a -n -u | grep 57110

replacing "57110" with whatever port your OSC is on. If it returns a result, 
then there is something else using that port. It could be a stray PD instance 
that wasn't killed properly.

Try:

$ ps aux | grep pd

to check if there's another PD instance running. You may need to "$ kill -9 
{pid}" it.

Cheers,
Richard
