-----Original Message----- From: william sack [mailto:bsack@primenet.com] Pd version 0.23 compiled Fri Nov 13 16:28:40 MST 1998 adding /usr/local/lib/pd/externs port 5400 Waiting for connection request... TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/tcl/library TK_LIBRARY=/usr/local/tk/library /usr/local/bin/pd-gui 5400 bad host?
pd tries to connect to itŽs GUI via sockets. Normally this is done via localhost on port 5400. To make this work you should have a localhost entry in your /etc/hosts file. This entry is standard on every Unix system.
127.0.0.0 localhost
