Have you tried running pd with audio and midi turned off? I could think of some nasty interactions if the dsp didn't get started up correctly.

i m running pd/gem on a powerbook g3 with suseppc with ctwm as windowmanager. when i start pd, i have this failures: /dev/dsp (writeonly): Permission denied /dev/dsp (readonly): Permission denied error failed to open Midiportsd; continuing without midi

i can start pd and open gem files, but when i create a gemwindow, there is some memory failure and pd_gui: pd process exited

does anybody has an idea what the problem is ?

thanks niki
