Do you have 'sed' installed, i.e. does /usr/bin/sed exist, or /sw/bin/sed?  You could also try commenting out the section that changes the version in packages/linux_make/Makefile.  Comment out these two lines then set the version in packages/linux_make/debian/control:

sed -i 's|^Version:.*|Version: $(DEB_PD_VERSION)|' \

$(DESTDIR)/DEBIAN/control

BTW i want to download all sources again and start from the beginning (to make sure i don't run into problems that are already fixed), but svn.grrrr.org still doesn't work for me.

svn update --ignore-externals

.hc

Thanks.
Making from the fresh sources (it seems that i only had to add -fPIC to the main makefile) i'm getting this:

install -p /home/muranyia/Download/pure-data/abstractions/mtl/1-13LP.pd \
