Re: [PD] strange crash with patch on OSX

Right, I forgot you need to have Wish Shell.app installed to run pd
from the command line on Mac OS X. You can either install this:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcltkaqua/TclTkAqua-8.4.9.dmg? download

or open Pd, go to Preferences -> Startup... and add -stderr to the
startup flags.

Then you can view the Pd output by running
/Applications/Utilities/Console.app.

It didnt do anything or post any error, just command not found if i remember well, this is why i tried sudo

I have installed the latest updates for this version of OSX (10.3.9)
just in case there was something wrong.

i tried again now, i copy from the mac console output

xx$ /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd
-stderr set it sh: line 1: /Applications/Wish Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish Shell : No such file or directory

and stays there, i need to do control+Z to stop de process weird isnt it? And i havent even tried opening the patch that causes
the crash

I try now with latest millers distro, 0.39-2 well ... funny, it does work, just the two externals I use are missing
(xsample and pyext). I copy the externals from your distro into millers. I get some weird errors I didnt get before coming from the xsample
object but it does not crash and pyext runs fine.

I try now with command line. Pd-0.39-2 runs ok, yours did the same as i described above. xx$ /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd
-stderr set it sh: line 1: /Applications/Wish Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish Shell : No such file or directory

...

You don't need sudo. It should be the actual path to your Pd.app, you either not using RC7
or you don't have it installed into /Applications . This part will be the same: Contents/Resources/bin/pd .hc On Feb 16, 2006, at 11:25 AM, altern wrote:

mmm .. it says :

xx$ sudo
/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extendedRC7/Contents/Resources/bin/pd
-stderr : command not found

it is really weird crash, i never had something like this before. I
might have to go and do step by step debugging. quite annoying.

thanks hans

You should try running Pd from the command line with the -stderr
flag, then you'll see the error message: /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extendedRC7/Contents/Resources/bin/pd

hi

Recently i moved to an old ibook, installed the syste same as in
the old computer which was btw a one year old powerbook, the only
thing i didnt install was the apple devel cdrom.

Now i find that an old patch that worked fine in my old machine
crashes pd while gets loaded. I get no error message.

The funny problem seems to happen when i call from the main patch
an abstraction i use to play samples. This one uses xsample and
the main patch uses pyext. But both externals seem to work fine
when i use them in a other patches.

i am really confused by this. I cannot imagine what it is that
causes the crash. This happens with both latest versions of hans
Pd installers.

any tips?

thanks
