Thanks so much M. Neupert! This was perfect. I have PD running in OS X in multiple user accounts.
I still have a few questions that I want to resolve over time. Is there a reason why pure data does not work with older versions of TclTk? Has PD been optimized specifically for the tcltk 8.5 install? I still would like to know why there are 0.36 extended installers out there that do not work. Would they work properly now that I have the right version of TclTk?

this
list, because, up until now, I could solve my own problems without
asking
for help. So, I apologize now if this is a frequent question, and
if it
is, I hope someone can point me quickly to the solution. I have
seen
references to similar problems in the list archives but no
satisfactory
answers or thorough discussions of the matter.
At the Peabody Institute I have access to many G3s and G4s. I
have
always been unsuccessful installing pd in OS X. Today, I
attempted to
use the pd-0.36-extended2-MacOSX.dmg. The installer always runs
fine.
When I try to open pd, however, I get the following:
Error number -9997 occured opening portaudio stream Error message: Invalid device ID watchdog: signaling pd... watchdog: signaling pd... watchdog: signaling pd... watchdog: signaling pd... etc.
After trying some fixes suggested in previous threads like using
various
flags and running Disk Utility to fix permissions, I ran pd and
got the
same results. I have tried -noadc, I have tried sudoing pd, I
have tried
running pd as root, and I cannot find anything that works. I know
that
other people out there are using pd in OS X. How did you do it?
I would
be happy to write a how-to guide if there isn't one once I solve
the
problem.
