Dear friends, I did have PD working but now it's not. An inspiring workshop with derek Holzer and Aymeric had me going with a quite interesting video mixer. however, after a serious crash, no luck. the interface appears for a fraction of a second then vanishes.
I have tried a clearout and a re-install. in console i get the message
dyld: /Applications/pure data/Pd-0.38-0test4HCS1.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/../bin/pd can't open library: /sw/lib/libgsl.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
How do I fix this?
I am not a programmer by background. I have been struggling with this for ages and `am VERY frustrated. Is there anywhere a tutorial/online material on how to use console/terminal etc, and what the commands mean.
sorry to appear stupid but it's the basics that need to be addressed in order to widen access...

Hello Gair,
dyld: /Applications/pure data/Pd-0.38-0test4HCS1.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/../bin/pd can't open library: /sw/lib/libgsl.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
This sounds like a PDP problem to me. To check for certain, start up pd without pdp and pidip. If they're in your .pdrc, remove them temporarily. If PD starts up fine, then you know where the problem lies. If it still doesn't start, then you've got to deal with Hans Christian's installer perhaps.
My advice would be to return to a known, working configuration. In this case, get the CD which I gave you at the workshop and do the exact same install proceedure which got it working that time. The CD I gave you should contain a tested OSX version of PD 0.37 that I know doesn't have problems with the Mac [haven't found a version of 0.38 that I would consider reliable yet!]. So, first double-check that you are using some version of OSX 10.3. Then ALL follow the instructions on the following page up to step 08 [remember these?]:
This should give you all the dependencies which PD, PDP and PiDiP need to start up.
After that, the easiest way to start PD is to open a terminal and type:
/usr/local/bin/pd
get back to us on the list if this doesn't work.
Is there anywhere a tutorial/online material on how to use console/terminal etc, and what the commands mean.
As far as a general comman line tutorial for the Mac, I would recommend getting O'Reilly's "Mac OSX in a Nutshell" (look for the OSX 10.3 edition). The second half of the book contains a good introduction to that thing which scares most Mac-users to death: the terminal! It includes an overview of common Unix commands, an intro to Fink, and some material on defaults, paths, shell programming and pattern matching in the terminal. You're really missing half the fun if you haven't gotten into this stuff yet ;-)
good luck, derek

Hi Gair, Looks like PD can't find libgsl on your system. libgsl is used by pidip. So it's actually pidip that's giving you the error and not pd. Anyway, since it was working at some point, that must mean that you had it on your system and you might still have it but in a different place. See if the finder can find something containing libgsl. If it does, don't move it as it might mess something else up. Simply open a terminal, cd /sw/lib/ and then sudo ln -s /the/true/location/of/libgsl.0.dylib
That's basically the same as creating an alias.
If you do have to reinstall gsl, I think 'fink install gsl' will do the trick.
