Hi there,
I read that Pd is "(somewhat shakily) running on Macintosh OS/X" and decided to give er a try... I was wondering if one of the "shakes" is jumpy unresponsive mouse input? When clickin on a number object and moving the mouse up and down, there appears to be certain freezing and skipping in the interface (also observable in audio output).
Is this the state of affairs or do I have something mis-configured, I have a G3 400, 512mb ram, OSX.2.1.
thanks, ryan

It's probably the state of affairs, but try at least making Pd setuid and running it "-rt". To make it setuid, I think you type, sudo chown root [...]/pd sudo chmod 4775 [...]/pd although you might have to install a "root" user for this to work. As soon as I can get to an OSX machine myself I'll look at this...

If you're running Jaguar and are experiencing a stalled graphical interface, do make sure you're running the latest (8.4.1) Tcl/Tk. The most recent builds at Sourceforge are nice looking (antialiased text... which may not help performance). Mac OSX 10.2 introduced some issues with older versions of Tcl/Tk which have subsequently been fixed.

Stalled audio input is another matter. I have an iMac with similar specs, and it's tricky to get good performance.
Best of luck, adam
I believe Ryan Gallagher said this around Mon, 11 Nov 2002:
