hi olsen
did you install the 64bit version of pd-extended? At the moment Gem is broken in that version. Try the 32bit version.

Hi Hans
I just got my hands on an OSX 10.7.5 and a 10.6.8 system and with 0.43.4 there seems to be a problem with Gem - e.g. opening the help of [pix_film] gives me the following error:
[pix_film] now mogie decoding backends found gemglutwindow ... couldn't create
any idea?
thanks & salutis Olsen

More Details
the Mac OS X PowerPC builds are a bit out of date because the PowerPC build machine died at the end of December. We're trying to get it back up so we can have up-to-date Mac OS X PowerPC builds!
the Raspbian build is barely tested, please try it and report back so we can improve things on Raspbian.
