ok, the cause for the message

could not open midi output 1 (MidiPipe Eingang 1): PortMidi: `Bad pointer'

was inside the patch:

[loadbang] | [; pd midi-dialog 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 2(

after i removed that the error was gone.

but i have a new one: logik 25 1 16 1 (trigger->prepend) connection failed

this only apperars when i load pd in nogui.

hi list,

(using Pd-0.40.3-extended-rc1-macosx104-powerpc.dmg) on 10.4, PPC

i use a shell script to startup pd for an installation. it looks something like this:

---------------shell script--------- /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -path / Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra/hardware -path / Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra/flatspace - path /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra/iemlib - path /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra/mapping - path /clarafrancesco -lib mapping -lib iemlib -lib hardware -lib flatspace -r 48000 -listdev -nomidiin -midioutdev 1 -noadc - outchannels 2 -nogui -noprefs /clarafrancesco/CLARAFRANCESCO.pd --------------end-------------------

but later in the terminal it seems i can't open the midi port.

the same patch runs fine with midi on the same machine with the GUI. even stranger is that on another machine (Pd-0.40.3-extended-rc1- macosx104-i386.dmg, 10.5, intel) -nogui and midi just works.

what could be the cause?
