Tcl/Tk for MacOS X has been changing a lot, so the various versions are
quite a bit different. That is why Pd doesn't work with older
versions. The plan is to start moving to Tcl 8.5 since it is so much
better on MacOS X. You can run Pd with Tcl 8.5 now with a little work,
or with my test installer:

As for the 0.36 installers, they are quite old, so there is no reason
to maintain them. Use a newer installer.

Thanks so much M. Neupert! This was perfect. I have PD running in
OS X in multiple user accounts. I still have a few questions that I want to resolve over time. Is
there a reason why pure data does not work with older versions of TclTk?
Has PD been optimized specifically for the tcltk 8.5 install? I still
would like to know why there are 0.36 extended installers out there that do
not work. Would they work properly now that I have the right version of TclTk? Samuel Burt brialey@juno.comMax Neupert wrote:
do you have the same trouble with this one:?

install tcltk 8.5 first:

I have been using pd in Windows for a long time and I also ran it

Linux for a while. I have been a subscriber to the development

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.
