Can you try a desperate workaround? in tcl/pd_connect.tcl, replace the
funciton ::pd_connect::to_pd this way:
# if pd opens first, it starts pd-gui, then pd-gui connects to the port pd sent
proc ::pd_connect::to_pd {port {host localhost}} {
variable pd_socket
::pdwindow::debug "'pd-gui' connecting to 'pd' on localhost $port ...\n"
if {[catch {set pd_socket [socket $host $port]}]} {
if {$filename ne "localhost" || [catch {set pd_socket [socket 127.0.0.1 $port]}]} {
puts stderr "WARNING: connect to pd failed, retrying port $host:$port."
after 1000 ::pd_connect::to_pd $port $host
return
}
}
::pd_connect::configure_socket $pd_socket
}
If 'localhost" falist that retries with 127.0.0.1 :)
