Hello, smello,
I am trying to help a friend by phone to install PD on her mac but I am unfimilar with OsX. I directed her to: http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html and she dragged the dmg to the desktop and nothing happened so she clicked on it and there was no .app file. She dragged the pd-0.39test2-extended-rc0 file (no .app file extension) into the applications folder on her HD. When she did this and doubble clicked on it it launched, the menubar at the top of the screen indicated that pd was open(ing) but when she moused over the menu->file dropdown it would give her the osX spinning colorwheel thinking icon. She had to force PD to quit as regular quit would not respond. I tried to direct her to where the logfiles would be in linux-land but there was no /var/log/messages.
Q1: Where are the osX system logfiles kept? Q2: How do we get PD installed on osX?
Thanks y'all! -thewade
