BUT: when i try to open a helpfile (in this case pix_video helpfile) if i push the create window button, a window seems to open and this message comes :
pix_videoDarwin: opened default component pix_videoDarwin: initialized SG dataref ok
pix_videoDarwin: could not make new SG channnel pix_videoDarwin: could not set SG ChannelBounds pix_videoDarwin: could not set SG ChannelUsage
these messages mean that you do not have a QuickTime compatible video capture device attached to your machine and configured correctly. the code we use should work with any such device, however due to the massive number of these device out there, there's no way for the two of us to test even a small percentage of them. if you device works wit another QT app like the QT Broadcaster and not with GEM let us know and we can try and do something about it.
watchdog: signaling pd...

you do not have hardware GL acceleration. there is a check for hardware acceleration and if it is not found the check fails and no window is created. you either need to install the correct drivers for you machine and video chipset or use another machine with working hardware GL.
does anybody know how to solve this problem ??
thx in advance

i have installed pd-0.36.dmg-link.dmg on my powerbook g3 wallstreet with osx jaguar (10.2.4) , and it works fine. now i would like to add gem which i downloaded from http://taproot.dyndns.org/~cgc/ (gemg4)
there are a couple of problems with your setup:
- the wallstreet does not have hardware openGL support so GEM will not run
- that machine is about the minimum required to run the OS so
real-time video and graphics are a stretch
- you got the g4 version of GEM which will crash on a g3
there i got Gem.pd_darwin which should be copied in the extras folder of pd (i think) now the question: where do i find the pd application files on the machine ?? i installed pd with this installation script and cannot find it ,,,
the problem with that installer is that it puts pd in a location hidden to the Finder. the install location is a very correct 'Unix' way to install things but not very 'Mac friendly'.

thanks a lot in advance
