[PD] Ubuntu Linux to Mac OSX Question

[Brian K. Shepard]

Thanks Funs, It’s really puzzling. I’ve included two short patchers—one my
student emailed me, and one I built from his screen grab. Pd opens mine, but
not his. Other than the coordinates and order of objects, the only
difference I see is on the line with “wave sinesum.” His version has “\;”
after the coordinates, and my version has “:” after the coordinates. I tried
changing that in his version, but still couldn’t get it to open.

My Student’s Version:
