Michael,
you might want to check Sara Kolster's step-by-step instructions for Fink, PDP, PD and many associated libs here:
http://www.umatic.nl/pdp_install.html
At the very least, it will tell you how to make your .pdrc file ;-) It also has some tips for viewing hidden files and a couple of other useful Unix commands.

Hello-
Considering I am slightly new to OSX, I was trying to install Pidip through Fink Commander during the past few days and ran into a bit of a problem...
Using Han's installer package I managed to put my Pd folder in my home directory where I bring the application forth through Terminal with the command line "~/pd/bin/pd" However, it seems like Pidip wants Pd to be in
---------" /usr/local/lib/pd/ ,so that I can put PidipD in /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx "
Where is the /usr/local/lib directory and how do I move Pd to if it is hidden?
I was also instructed to perform the following:
*---------"Modify your .pdrc file* " by adding the lines: -path /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions -path /usr/local/lib/pd/extra:/usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions -lib /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/pdp Remember .pdrc is a hidden file and should be located in your /home/ folder if it is not there make one yourself.
I tried typing in these lines in Terminal and X11 to no avail... Should this be done elsewhere in a different fashion? what exactly does this mean?
Thank you for the help, Podolakmichael
