try deleting all the startup-plugins in the "startup/"; i think one of them is buggy.
sorry, where is that? I'm not following the discussion, in case that
was explained somewhere.path/to/pd/startup, or you might have installed a plugin in previous
attempts. The plugin files are called *-plugin.tcl and they can be
loaded from anywhere in your Pd path (i.e. set in the preferences, -path
on the command line, etc.)
something funny here. I don't see that file/folder(?). also, there aren't
any *-plugin.tcl files in my pd-ext. I also never installed any tcl
plugins.
