Hello, I am forwarding this to the tcl-mac list too, as this question is probably more appropriate there.

I built and installed Tcl/Tk 8.5.8, but I don't see any Tcl/Tk 8.5.8/Carbon framework, or any directions on how to build it specifically. I think it would be best for me to test this before reporting any bugs, although it seems clear enough this is where the problem lays for building Pd (dev branch) from source on Snow Leopard. - rich > But that means using the Makefile in packages/darwin_app and running "make > install".
