oh BTW if you are going to build tkdnd on osx use:

https://github.com/radarhere/tkdnd/tree/arctest

and checkout the "arctest" branch... thats the one that worked for me

yeah you prob have to compile tkdnd on 10.8 yourself. the github one was built on 10.11...

it is also possible i updated the stock tk version in vanilla from 8.4 -> 8.5 but I am not on that machine right now. if you do a search for tk 8.5 puredata you should find a tutorial for retina screen from Dan.

BTW i get same error as you on this macbook air I am on right now so I DO assume its tk version 8.5 you need but maybe someone else on list can clarify based on error.
