Do you have an object called [xsample] in any of those patches? That would maybe explain this message:

xsample ... couldn't create

AFAIK, the library is called xsample, but the xsample objects are called something else. Maybe that is somehow related to the crash?

My guess is that its related to the libraries that you are loading. Try loading it with no libraries, then add each one in separately and maybe you can track down the crash.

yes, but the funny thing is that i can start PD and create a py object and xsample object. It is only when I load the subpatch containing xsample when it crashes. I think i am going to have to waste some time debugging this. It is really weird that it ws working really fine in another mac machine with same OS version and pd version.

thanks anyway

ok,

now i get this in the console, any ideas?

Right, I forgot you need to have Wish Shell.app installed to run pd from the command line on Mac OS X. You can either install this: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcltkaqua/TclTkAqua-8.4.9.dmg? download or open Pd, go to Preferences -> Startup... and add -stderr to the startup flags. Then you can view the Pd output by running /Applications/Utilities/Console.app. .hc On Feb 17, 2006, at 7:10 AM, altern wrote:

It didnt do anything or post any error, just command not found if i remember well, this is why i tried sudo

I have installed the latest updates for this version of OSX (10.3.9) just in case there was something wrong.

i tried again now, i copy from the mac console output

xx$ /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -stderr set it sh: line 1: /Applications/Wish Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish Shell : No such file or directory

and stays there, i need to do control+Z to stop de process weird isnt it? And i havent even tried opening the patch that causes the crash

I try now with latest millers distro, 0.39-2 well ... funny, it does work, just the two externals I use are missing (xsample and pyext). I copy the externals from your distro into millers. I get some weird errors I didnt get before coming from the xsample object but it does not crash and pyext runs fine.

I try now with command line. Pd-0.39-2 runs ok, yours did the same as i described above. xx$ /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -stderr set it sh: line 1: /Applications/Wish Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish Shell : No such file or directory

You don't need sudo. It should be the actual path to your Pd.app, you either not using RC7 or you don't have it installed into /Applications . This part will be the same: Contents/Resources/bin/pd .hc On Feb 16, 2006, at 11:25 AM, altern wrote:

mmm .. it says :

xx$ sudo /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extendedRC7/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -stderr : command not found

it is really weird crash, i never had something like this before. I might have to go and do step by step debugging. quite annoying.

thanks hans

You should try running Pd from the command line with the -stderr flag, then you'll see the error message: /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extendedRC7/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -stderr .hc On Feb 14, 2006, at 11:23 AM, altern wrote:

hi

Recently i moved to an old ibook, installed the syste same as in the old computer which was btw a one year old powerbook, the only thing i didnt install was the apple devel cdrom.

Now i find that an old patch that worked fine in my old machine crashes pd while gets loaded. I get no error message.

The funny problem seems to happen when i call from the main patch an abstraction i use to play samples. This one uses xsample and the main patch uses pyext. But both externals seem to work fine when i use them in a other patches.

i am really confused by this. I cannot imagine what it is that causes the crash. This happens with both latest versions of hans Pd installers.

any tips?

thanks
