[PD] PdLua on Mac OS X El Capitan not working

[Jens Ahrens]

Aha, this looks better!

There is nothing odd being reported at startup. When I try to open the patch

	/Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/pdlua-help.pd

then there is an object called “help" that is not found. 

Pd lists that it is trying to unsuccessfully load a set of files

	tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.d_fat and failed
	tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.pd_darwin and failed
	tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello/hello.d_fat and failed
	tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello/hello.pd_darwin and failed
	tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.pd and failed
	tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.pat and failed
	tried /Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello/hello.pd and failed

It repeats this pattern in many more folders. I don’t seem to have any of these files. I only have the following:

	/Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.pd_lua
	/Applications/Pd-0.48-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdlua/hello.pd_luax

Greets,
Jens
