I had good luck with [motex/system]. I made this little object to control iTunes from Pd using applescript.

I ran some tests and it seems that relative paths in [shell] just don't work like they do with the rest of pd. For example, if you have a pd patch in the same folder as ruby_script.rb, you can't run it simply by using a "ruby ruby_script.rb" message, you have to do "ruby /full/path/to/ruby_script.rb" (as opposed to, say, media files or abstractions in the same folder as your patch).
Both [motex/system] and [ggee/shell] work on my macbook. (thanks for the list, Hans. I didn't know there were two [popen] objects)
Ben Baker-Smith There are four options to try, let us know which works best for you:
flatspace/popen
moonlib/popen
motex/system
ggee/shell
.hc
