Sorry to make my first post here so long. I'm new to UNIX/OSX, and am running in circles trying to get pd installed.
After running the installer twice, I get the following at the terminal:
[techboy:~] markballora% which pd /usr/local/pd/bin/pd
and
[techboy:~] markballora% ls /usr/local/pd/bin pd pd-watchdog pd.tk pdreceive pdsend pdtcl
So far so good?
Then I tried: [techboy:~] markballora% pd -listdev reading startup file: /Users/markballora/.pdrc Number of devices = 4 ---------------------------------------------- #1 Name = Built-in audio controller Max Inputs = 2, Max Outputs = 0 Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000 Native Sample Formats = paFloat32, ---------------------------------------------- #2 DefaultInput Name = MOTU 828 Max Inputs = 8, Max Outputs = 0 Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000 Native Sample Formats = paFloat32, ---------------------------------------------- #3 Name = Built-in audio controller Max Inputs = 0, Max Outputs = 2 Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000 Native Sample Formats = paFloat32, ---------------------------------------------- #4 DefaultOutput Name = MOTU 828 Max Inputs = 0, Max Outputs = 8 Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000 Native Sample Formats = paFloat32,

Seems odd, since the list of the directory showed the pd.tk file. At this point, I can run the program and get it to do simple math patches, but no audio or MIDI test works.
The same thing happened when I tried running the program from the prompt:
[techboy:~] markballora% pd reading startup file: /Users/markballora/.pdrc could not open midi output device number 1: Invalid device ID. using default input device number: 1 using default output device number: 3 nchan 2, flags 3, bufs 8, framesperbuf 256 Could not create output format converter: error = 0x666D743F = 'fmt?'

I tried replacing /usr/local/pd/bin/pd file with the file from: http://homepage.mac.com/atl/.cv/atl/Public/pd-pa-new-binary.tar.gz-link.gz which is supposed to make it more compatible with the MOTU 828.
Now, when I try running it from the prompt, I get:
[techboy:~] markballora% pd dyld: pd can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Trace/BPT trap
Similarly, trying to run it from Pd.command gives:
[techboy:~] markballora% /Applications/Pd.command; exit dyld: /usr/local/pd/bin/pd can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) /Applications/Pd.command: line 2: 793 Trace/BPT trap /usr/local/pd/bin/pd -rt logout [Process completed]
Can anyone give me any guidance on how to get this thing working?
