...welcome! As a first suggestion, you might want to check the list
archives before posting: you can access them from the link
before...in this case, this is a well known problem, with no good
answer yet:
I've just installed Pd-0.38.4-extended on a G4 laptop with Mac OS X 4.4. i placed 'org.puredata.pd.plist' in ~/Library/Preferences.
When i open Pd it says:
"/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/ Scripts/../extra/pdp.pd_darwin: dlopen(/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/ Scripts/../extra/pdp.pd_darwin, 10): Symbol not found: _gluOrtho2D Referenced from: /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/ Scripts/../extra/pdp.pd_darwin Expected in: /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.1.dylib"
...there is really only a kludge-y way to fix this, and that is to
get the pdp.pd_darwin in the extended-RC5 release and replace the one
in RC8 with it...
...aside to Hans: if I remember correctly, you are just building
from the pdp in externals? I just got around to comparing it with
the pdp-0.12.4 that I had compiled, and it seems there are some
header differences: I'll try to build both again and see if that
makes a difference here...certainly "otool -L pdp.pd_darwin" doesn't
provide any illumination...
Then it says it can't open the pdp library and also: "pdp_text : severe error : could not load default font : no rendering !!!"
...check the archives for a fix: this is not fatal, but means that
one or two pidip objects won't work...
I downloaded X11 from apple but it refused to install. Could this have anything to do with a partitioned hard drive?
...well, I imagine that the x11 would need to be installed on the
partition that has the osx system files, and would probably refuse to
install elsewhere...
Could somebody kindly tell me what i can do about this?
...was that kind enough? ;-)
