Hello... Well, this is my first letter to this mailing list...Im really new to this software, Ive found it very interesting and growing...I still learning... I decide to use this software for its capabilities in live performances not only of sound but also of images.. in this respect, images, GEM is the external to use, as I understand... nevertheles, I havent been able to run it... as I say.. Im really new to this... nobody gides me only my eyes thru the documentation, patches, etc... anyway, I dont know if gem came in the first compiled pkg version(0.37) or in the next not pakaged version(0.37-1), wich I install later... The fact is that varius externals that I dont know yet are in the extra folder, in this folder is also the gem.pd_darwin file. In the doc folder are also other "new" folders, these are: abstractions, CVS, flext, GEM and tutorials. When I try to run any of the examples in the GEM folder, a list of errors is printed in the terminal widow. for example, with redsquare.pd this is printed:

gemwin ... couldn't create gemhead ... couldn't create rotate ... couldn't create color ... couldn't create square ... couldn't create 01.redSquare.pd 1 0 0 0 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 2 0 8 0 (text->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 3 0 0 0 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 4 0 0 0 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 5 0 0 0 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 6 0 11 0 (text->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 7 0 6 1 (gatom->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 8 0 6 0 (text->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 9 0 8 1 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 10 0 8 1 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 17 0 11 0 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 18 0 11 0 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 19 0 11 0 (message->text) connection failed 01.redSquare.pd 20 0 11 0 (message->text) connection failed

And eventough a window is opened, it is not functional....

In the other hand, I tried to use Jack server for direct the pd sound to another aplication(a sound editor), and also recive errors... -first, when I run Pd and the Jack server is not loaded, the terminal window says that the default conection with Jack server couldnt be stablished( the preferences of jack server are not configured to be the default output)...only that, everything seem to work correctly despite this... -second, when I turn on the Jack server, the first error doesnt apear, but the output still being the build-in not jack, so, I change the output in the audio preferences of Pd, and receive this as an answer in the terminal:

Could not create format converter: error = 0x666D743F = 'fmt?' PaOSX_OpenCommonDevice: PAOSX_DevicePropertyListener failed. : error = 0x666D743F = 'fmt?' Error number -10000 occured opening portaudio stream Error message: Host error.

Dont know if Im doing it right... I hope some body can help... still being lost in information... more questions will come.... thanx

Ivan
