Which sources can anyone suggest to build from?
I installed 0.39.2 from the amd64 Debian repository and it's a disaster, a list of bugs too long to mention and all round erratic behaviour, including the CPU usage randomly jumping to 200% with the most trivial patches. Completely unusable.
How did you build yours Pat?
Hi andy, I usually build the last vanilla test package,
http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm
and use cvs for externals,abstractions,and extensions.
Before, I need to install tcl-tk devel packages (you should give a try with tcl-tk-8.5, it's neat ;)).
By this way I remove many reasons for pd to not be build correctly, I don't always get good stuff from cvs, and apt almost always provide too old stuff, they don't seem update often enough the PureData packets, ;D.
Also if you don't use to compile with linux, use have to install the tools for compiling, like autoconf, automake, gcc, g++, libc, alsa-devel, jack-devel, don't forget to put --enable-jack --enable--alsa at ./configure. The externals dependances will come in doc files or errors during compilation. if you want to build pd-extended, you might want look at this:

I dunno about gridflow (often changing) and flext (the complete install is not easy, I suspect flext isn't ready for 64bit distro), but Gem is easy to build from it's cvs:
