Hi
I have a G4 as well and I have had the same problems...what I have
found out is that rc4-extended for ppc uses a new version of Gem,
unfortunately this new version has not be released for G4s (g5 only).I have a work around where you swap an older version of Gem (used
in extended pd 38) and replace it with the new version. This is
easy to do and it means you can use Gem in rc4-extended, you don't
even need to go into the terminal. If you want instructions let me
know and I post them.
I was running Pd-extended on a G4 without problems until about a
month or so ago, when my powerbook died. The Gem in Pd-0.39.2-
extended-rc4 is built from source on a G4, so it should work there.
Nothing changed in the build process (that I know of) in the last few
months, so I would be surprised if somehow it switched.
Can you not load any library at all? Do a test, open a new patch
and type in [moog~] or [freeverb~]. If any of these objects have
not loaded correctly it means you could have a plist conflict. I
have had this problem as well and it is easy to sort out, again you
don't need to go into the terminal. Please let me know if you
require instructions
With the most recent releases, it's best to not have a prefrences
file at all, since the prefs are embedded in the app now. Try
trashing ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist
However PDP remains a mystery to me and if anyone has actually use
PDP on osx at any point ever, please let me know.
It works everywhere I've tested it. You need to have X11 installed,
which is on the Mac OS X DVD.

I have downloaded PD, and have been trying to get GEM to work for most of today. I have downloaded Pd-0.39.2-extended-rc4-macosx104-powerpc.dmg from Han's site (http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html), but I continually get errors saying:
iemabs: can't load library iemmatrix: can't load library liblist: can't load library
pdp_text : severe error : could not load default font : no
rendering !!! pdp_qtext : severe error : could not load default font : no
rendering !!!In addition, I was unable to create objects, and instead pd would create a box with a dashed line around it (is this a comment box?).
So, thwarted by that, I downloaded Miller's most current version of pd 40-2, and thought I might just put GEM on there myself, but I can't figure out how to do it. This is my first time working with a program like pd, and I could used some assistance either installing GEM, or getting pd-extended to work.
If it helps, I am running OS 10.3.9, on an G4 powerbook.
Thanks in advance, Dan Zajicek
