getting netpd to run on os x

note:
use netpd on unix always with the same user to prevent permission problems, especially when using creator!!!

1. pd-netpd-osx.tar.gz
   package containing netpd, libs used in netpd and miller's pd
   

if you want to develope your own patches install netpd this way:
1. download Miller's Pure Data (PD)
   http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html
   
   
2. download netpd.tar.gz
   http://www.netpd.org/Download
   
   
3. install libs
   download from:
   http://195.176.254.167/~eni/extra.zip
   
   (aditional to zexy and maxlib I strongly suggest to install iemlibs and iemmatrix)
   
   - rightclick on pd.app Show Package Contents
   - copy libs into Contents/Resources/extra
   - open pd
   - Pd / Preferences / Startup... add following line to startup flags
   - -lib zexy -lib maxlib -helppath /Users/path-to-your-netpd-dir/netpd/doc
   - save all settings
   - Pd / Preferences / Path... add following line to startup flags
   - Users/yourUserName/path-to-your-netpd-dir/netpd/abs
   - save all settings
   - close pd
   
   
4. start pd again, open netpd/_chat.pd and it will try to connect to netpd.org
   
   
5. finally : chat-settings name and, in order to use creator, enter path-to-your-netpd-dir netpd-path. on osx you have to use absolute path. save and close
   
   
6. now you are able to ask online users by clicking dein senf:
