I believe it's a macOS system but the suggestion is still useful. If there is a firewall or application like Little Snitch running, it should add Pd to the whitelist otherwise the Pd core cannot communicate with the Pd GUI.

Something is weird with your system. In general, localhost should *always* be available.

What happens when you run the following in Terminal with wifi off? Press CTRL+C to stop once it's running.

ping localhost

Hello,
When I have no internet connection I can start Pd 0.52-2 (iMac Mojave) with
the Terminal by going through Contents/resources/Bin/pd.
But it does not work with Pd 0.52-3 and Pd 0.52-4.
This is what the Terminal reports :

/Applications/Pd-0.51-4.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd ; exit;
localhost not found (inet protocol not installed?)
nodename nor servname provided, or not known (8)logout

[Op?ration termin?e]

What setting should I make?
Thank you for your response.
