My Pd installer is definitely beta. I have only tested it on two computers personally. So let's figure out what the problem is so I can fix the installer.
First question: did you change the install location or did you leave it as default?
It should install Pd into: /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/pd
CVS externals into: /usr/local/lib/pd/extra /usr/local/lib/pd/doc/5.reference
And the Pd.command GUI launcher into: /Applications
Are most of the files installed there? Where else are they installed?
Also, I don't know if things will work right if you have both Adam's and my installers installed. You can use OSXPM to uninstall packages. You can get OSXPM here: ftp://us.osxgnu.org/pub/osxgnu/OSXPM/OSXPackageManager.sit

Hi,
I'm teaching PD this semester and because our labs are mostly G4, I'm trying to install PD on OS X.
I tried installing both Hans's new installer and Adam's installer. In both cases some things work OK, but things get installed in very strange places. A lot of libs and docs end up in places like Applications/pd0.37/usr/local, but also in the pd folder, etc.
I have a feeling that being relatively unfamiliar with Mac OS X I am not understanding completely where things should go. Does anyone have any advice?
Basically what I'm after is having a pd directory that contains all the pd items, e.g. abstractions, lib, doc, bin, externals, and to have a script that launches pd and the appropriate libraries and paths relative to that folder (rather than absolute paths.)
Many thanks!
