OK, still allow me to vent my frustration for a moment: For OS X and Windows you get precompiled binaries, while Linux users are expected to be almost fully qualified developers just for running an application.
while i understand your frustration about having a broken system, i think you are barking up the wrong tree here.
your trouble is not, because you "just want to run the application". you managed to compile the application fine, without having to be a fully qualified developer.
the problem we are facing, however, is that you are experiencing a crash (which nobody else so far has been able to reproduce yet), and we want to debug that crash. debugging is more related to "fully qualified programming" than to "just running an application". all the serious trouble you've seen so far, is because we want to debug the problem; and your machine is so far the only one where the problem shows itself; that's why we depend on you.
if your system was an OSX machine (say, a Macbook Air) then you had two possibilities: either rely on "just running the application" and live with your problem, or to "be almost a fully qualified developer" and help finding the cause of the problem. the very same holds true for w32.
to quote dan:
This have never been an issue with OS X in the past so I *do not* think there is suddenly a major problem based on feedback from running Pd on *one machine*.
does this make you feel any better? (the problem *I* am facing right now, is that my support for digging this problem will have to end tonight, since more pressing things are on my agenda; which I regret very much for your sake, but about which I cannot do much...).
