This seems to be an persisting [1][2][3] problem I had already encountered:
All of a sudden I'm experiencing this again. I haven't changed or updated anything that I recall on the system which is debian wheezy.
Running with: -verbose -stderr -d 3
yields:
set pd_whichmidiapi 2 Pd-0.43.2 ("") compiled 22:56:26 Sep 25 2012 port 5400 TCL_LIBRARY="./lib/pd/lib/tcl/library" TK_LIBRARY="./lib/pd/lib/tk/library" wish "./lib/pd/tcl//pd-gui.tcl" 5400 priority 6 scheduling enabled. Waiting for connection request... priority 8 scheduling enabled. ./lib/pd/bin/pd-watchdog watchdog: signaling pd... watchdog: signaling pd... ...
[After serveral lines] of those
WARNING: connect to pd failed, retrying port localhost:5400.
Running with -nogui pd seems to start ok.
This is with various versions of 0.43 (vanilla fresh compiled, debian packaged puredata, pd-extended latest autobuild).
So it probably depends form something (tcl?) in the system, but what?
I tried reinstalling tcl and tk but to no avail.
Help please, I really need Pd in this moment! Thanks Lorenzo
