I used your installer -- or saw it used -- on 2 Titanium and 1 G3

Hmm, strange, I haven't had any problems uninstalling with OSXPM yet...
maybe Martin's path problem is caused by the pkgs being build on
10.2/Jaguar and installed on an older version of MacOS X.
Nevertheless, Pd works very well, with zexy and friends.
There is a problem that's not related to the installer but rather the
externals : Pd cannot find help-*.pd files for some packages.
This is due to the new help_symbol handling in 0.37. Almost every
external needs to be updated to work with 0.37. Some have been updated
already. As they are updated in CVS, the changes will automatically be
included in the next versions of the MacOS X installer.

For the impatient, I recommand the 3 steps installation proposed :
- Install and run OSXPM to remove any previous version of Pd.
- Install Tcl/Tk (8.4.1 preferred)
- Install Pd.
If you have special libraries or externals, be sure to put them in
.pdrc before complaining they're not found ! ;o)hellekin
