Hello Rolando.
I'm hardly a "support team"... I'm just a guy who put together an installer. I'm forwarding your email to the general Pd discussion list (which I highly recommend joining at http://iem.kug.ac.at/cgi-bin/ mailman/listinfo/pd-list), where other people who have worked with modern G4 PowerMacs might have some hints
I would recommend sending the output of doing the command: /usr/local/pd/bin/pd -listdev
That might help debugging.
Cheers, adam

Dear PD support team>
I finally got PD installed in Macos 10.2 but I still get no sound from it. At the terminal I get the following message> Rolando-Cori-s-Computer:~] rcori% /usr/local/pd/bin/pd reading startup file: /Users/rcori/.pdrc could not open midi input device number 1: Host error. could not open midi output device number 1: Host error. using default input device number: -1 using default output device number: 0 nchan 2, flags 3, bufs 8, framesperbuf 256 Error number -9999 occured opening portaudio stream Error message: Invalid number of channels. audio I/O error history: seconds ago error type watchdog: signaling pd...
Perhaps PD doent work with the G4 factory sound card (It has only sound output anyway). I'm planning to buy a MOTU 828. You think that would work with PD?
Thank you very much for your help and advise.
