i did give the --with-pd option as ../pd/src so ./configure did not complain in the first place. weirdly now trying to reproduce it, libtool says, it can't determine the absolute directory name. i swear, that wasn't there before. :D
ah yes; afaik, this is a known limitation of autotools: you should never give any paths as relative paths, always use absolute paths!
the reason is simple: all makefiles generated by autoconf will have the include path for Pd expanded to "../pd/src"; while this makes sense in the top-level directory, it will expand to non-existant paths in subdirectories (e.g. in ...gem/src/plugins it will expand to ...gem/src/pd/src)
this also explains a small mystery: Gem's configure will stop if it doesn't find the pd sources; unfortunately it did find them at the relative path, but could not use them from within the subdirectories!
