[PD] pd 0.48-0 installation problem on Win10

Oops, in the code, "filename" should have been "host". Can you try
changing that line (in tcl/pd_connect.tcl):
if {$filename ne "localhost" || [catch {set pd_socket [socket 127.0.0.1 $port]}]} {
to
if {$host ne "localhost" || [catch {set pd_socket [socket 127.0.0.1 $port]}]} {
...
It could just be that there's no notion of "localhost" on your machine, and
hopefully that change will get the machine then to try 127.0.0.1 which is
a synonym.
It might also be that pd isn't being allowed to access the "network" for
some reason - that's happened in other situations before.
thanks
Miller
