My guess is that it is caused by a some incompatibility of the version of Tcl/Tk you are using. For example, Pd doesn't really work fully with 8.5.x yet

back again,

Thanks all for the input last night.

I only quickly had a look at pd-extended last night after installing (0.40.3 on openSUSE 11) and opened a single patch and tested audio. It seemed to work.

Returning today, I've come across an issue with the help browser.

If I click on a category in the left pane and then attempt to click on another, in the same pane, this results in an error which prevents me selecting a new category. I can still navigate in the right pane, but the same thing happens again if I attempt to change folder/category in any pane that is not the right-most. I do not get this behaviour with pd-vanilla.

The actual error message is as follows, and appears in what I guess is a Tcl/Tk message dialog
window name "listbox1-list" already exists in parent
window name "listbox1-list" already exists in parent
    while executing
"listbox "[set b "$base.listbox$count"]-list" -yscrollcommand [list "$b-scroll" set] -height 20 -width 22 -exportselection 0"
    (procedure "doc_make_listbox" line 12)
    invoked from within
"doc_make_listbox [winfo parent $width] $dir_to_open [incr count]"
    (procedure "doc_navigate" line 7)
    invoked from within
"doc_navigate /usr/local/lib/pd/doc 0 .help_browser.frame.listbox0- list 57 139"
    (command bound to event)
This doesn't stop operation of pd, but it does render the help browser very unhelpful...

any ideas?
