I have been using pd in Windows for a long time and I also ran it in Linux for a while. I have been a subscriber to the development list because I like to stay on top of all the changes that are being made and new functionalities added. However, I have not been subscribed to this list, because, up until now, I could solve my own problems without asking for help. So, I apologize now if this is a frequent question, and if it is, I hope someone can point me quickly to the solution. I have seen references to similar problems in the list archives but no satisfactory answers or thorough discussions of the matter.
At the Peabody Institute I have access to many G3s and G4s. I have always been unsuccessful installing pd in OS X. Today, I attempted to use the pd-0.36-extended2-MacOSX.dmg. The installer always runs fine. When I try to open pd, however, I get the following:
Error number -9997 occured opening portaudio stream Error message: Invalid device ID watchdog: signaling pd... watchdog: signaling pd... watchdog: signaling pd... watchdog: signaling pd... etc.
After trying some fixes suggested in previous threads like using various flags and running Disk Utility to fix permissions, I ran pd and got the same results. I have tried -noadc, I have tried sudoing pd, I have tried running pd as root, and I cannot find anything that works. I know that other people out there are using pd in OS X. How did you do it? I would be happy to write a how-to guide if there isn't one once I solve the problem.
