when i try the rattsass.pd test from the forum (http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg06994.html), i get the expected '' error (below), at which point find-last-error highlights "holmes f0decl 0 topc -30" in the patch. When I click on one of the phrases in ratsass.pd (e.g., "this is SO crazy"), the message changes to: error: inlet: expected '' but got 'this'

===============error==================== guessphones ... couldn't create klatt~ ... couldn't create phones2holmes f ... couldn't create freeverb~ ... couldn't create holmes f0decl 0 topc -30 ... couldn't create error: inlet: expected '' but got 'bang' ... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu. error: inlet: expected '' but got 'bang' error: inlet: expected '' but got 'bang' error: inlet: expected '' but got 'bang' error: inlet: expected '' but got 'bang' error: inlet: expected '' but got 'bang' ...

thanks again, -dh

(your error message looks hauntingly familiar, but I can't remember in what context I last saw it...), but I

you see it whenever an object that Pd was unable to create receives a message (that is: the ghost of this object)

in short this means: either the compilation of necessary objects failed or you should add the paths to the objects to your Pd startup.

use "Find last error", it will tell you more. take a close look at the Pd-console, it will tell you even more.

moin dh,

yep, all of these objects are defined by the ratts library. Just to get the obligatory question out of the way, are you starting pd with "-path /my/externs/dir -lib ratts"? and does /my/externs/dir contain "ratts.pd_WHATEVER" ? (assumedly "ratts.pd_darwin" for osx) ? If so, do you see a message like:

ratts: Realtime Analog Text-To-Speech externals v0.07 by Bryan Jurish ratts: Based on text-to-speech code by Nick Ing-Simmons and Jon Iles ratts: and PD external code by Orm Finnendahl and Travis Newhouse ratts: compiled by USER on DATE

on the pd console at startup?

hmmm, when i add just the one ratts~ object to a new patch, I get the console output below, so it seems like maybe none of the objects are being created?
