ah, yes, another short one:

trying to start pd from the shell: i can see the pd file itself (attributes say it´s executable) but shell tells me when i type "pd"+Enter

--command not found

hi peter,

...this is because your pd is not in an executable path, as set in your shell script...you can add the path to your "~/.tcshrc" by adding the line "set path = ( /path/to/pd $path )" and "source ~/.cshrc" ...otherwise, you'll just have to type the entire pathname along with any desired flags...

so i always have to wrire a new pd.command file for checking things like listdev or -version.

if anybody knows about that... and has time to write ;-)

ah, yes, one last one: has anyone got binaries for pdp.darwin? and how´s the status of pidip on OSX?

...tom has a binary release now for the latest pdp.darwin:

http://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/pdp

...grab pdp-0.12.1-bin-darwin.tar.gz and also have to grab the pdp-0.12.1.tar.gz, because that has the docs and examples and source...unfortunately, most of the examples won't work straight away, cuz they use pdp_xv and pdp_v4l, which aren't available on OSX...they can be switched out with pdp_glx and pdp_qt, but ya also have to change some other things to get fully working...good news, tho: I'm making OSX versions, and should be able to up them tonight!

...also don't forget that you need to have libquicktime installed (via fink), and of course X11 (I use apple's)...there isn't a working version using native quicktime/windowing (yet)...
