Hmm.. I build Pd on OS X all the time!  I don't think I've done
anything special but perhaps I did long ago.  Of course, I don't know
the process by which Miller assembles the Pd app bundle, but I simply
build the pd binary and drop it in to the latest Pd.app from Miller's
site.

Where is it failing?
