[PD] plugin~ crashing

[pzuspann]

I recently installed PD (from a daily build - 0.40.3-extended-20080222) on my Intel Mac OS X (10.5.2) laptop.  Pd crashes when I try to load an actual plugin to the object plugin~.  First problem is that my ladspa path is not set-up, so I have to remedy that, but I also get a gui error which crashes PD.  Can any one offer guidance?  I have lots of LADSPA plugins that I installed with DMG packages along with ardour.  (Also, I'm not sure where to set the path to  access these.)  I'm new to mac, but familiar with linux/music apps...

Here is the contents of the console output after the crash:

3/31/08 3:17:55 PM [0x0-0x81081].org.puredata.pd.wish[2353] Warning: no LADSPA_PATH, assuming /usr/lib/ladspa:/usr/local/lib/ladspa 
3/31/08 3:17:59 PM [0x0-0x81081].org.puredata.pd.wish[2353] Warning: no LADSPA_PATH, assuming /usr/lib/ladspa:/usr/local/lib/ladspa 
3/31/08 3:18:17 PM [0x0-0x81081].org.puredata.pd.wish[2353] pd_gui: pd process exited 

Forgive me if this post is redundant.  I have searched many forums, but to no constructive avail.

Thanks so much for any help you can offer...
