Hi Stefan. I think your message was intended for the list, so I cc them my response.
first of all keep in mind that those are test releases, and in my case quite experimental.
I don't know if the console problem is solved already, but as the last modification has no console, I can't report any error messages.
with the latest version you can use the system console (/Applications/Console.app). If you miss the [print] messages then download it again, thie first one I uploaded had a problem with this
I was running Gerards version of 0.37.4 which tells me that Tcl & Tk 8.4.7 are running. As I remember, Hans-Christophs version, which I tried before, showed me 8.4.6. Does this mean the distribution is loading its own Tcl & Tk version and the version 5 I downloaded before is obsolete?
yes, with this version you don't need to worry about tcl / tk or the wish shell anymore (well hopefully), everything goes bundled

Hi Gerard and Hans-Christoph,
Thank you so much for creating these distributions. It is the first time I could easily get PD running on my Powerbook. As I do use Max for years, I was not too much motivated before, to get it running, it probably would have been possible earlier as well ;-)
The first glance is impressive! I am sure I'll encourage a lot of my students to go for PD, though Max is much more easy to deal with, but especially student are short of money.
But of course, I ran into some problems. I don't know if the console problem is solved already, but as the last modification has no console, I can't report any error messages.
I tried to load from Frank Barknechts poolexample the 'tester.pd': nothing happened... after that, even loading my working test patches did not load. This behaviour remained, even after restarting PD. I had to restart OS X (10.3.5) to get it loading patches again. A new attempt to start that tester.pd killed PD (no crashlog, PD just disapeared), a restart of PD was fine this time.
I was running Gerards version of 0.37.4 which tells me that Tcl & Tk 8.4.7 are running. As I remember, Hans-Christophs version, which I tried before, showed me 8.4.6. Does this mean the distribution is loading its own Tcl & Tk version and the version 5 I downloaded before is obsolete? I don't get yet how these four programs (PD, Tcl/Tk, Wish, Terminal) are dependent and how they communicate and call each other. Especially I'd like to know how I can find out from an OS X point of view if and where things are installed (this is also a problem for me with MySQL I'd like to get hands on for quite a while without success). If everything needed is PD centric in its bundle, this is fine for me, then I don't have to deal with it at all. But I just don't know if this is the case.
Again thanks a lot for getting me going. I'll pull out some PD-Max compatibility abhaXions as my contribution for the community as soon I find some time for it.

hi, I've put a modified version of the test MacOSX application package here:
http://pure-data.info/Members/gerard/pd-0.37.4.dmg
changes:
- moved to the WishKit app package (distributed with tcl / tk BI)
- added -nowish flag to pd
- modified AppMain.tcl and pd.tk to launch pd -nowish and load pdtcl
in the new structure, also completed drag+drop support ;)
- recompiled pdtcl to link with embeded frameworks. For some reason
@executable_path/../Frameworks seems to resolve to inside the Resuorces folder of the package, so I've copied the Frameworks folder there as well as a hackaround.
- added some experimental documentation menu patches.
