As I understand it, "-libdir X" is a kind of shortcut for "-path X -helppath X", so you could use these instead. Just put the directory(ies) containing sfv~ and aenv~ into you path like usual and all should be fine. Alternatively you could change your patches and include the directory the externals reside in the object name like [DIR_OF_SFV/sfv~]. Note that I don't know the actual paths used in pd-extended, so you need to find out the "DIR_OF_SFV" part yourself. Probably this is documented better on some page on puredata.info
It's working now. Here is my solution
find /usr/local/lib/pd -name svf* gives:
/usr/local/lib/pd/doc/examples/cyclone/svf-test.pd /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/bsaylor/svf~.pd_linux /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/cyclone/svf~.pd_linux /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/flatspace/svf~.pd_linux
only /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/ is in the startup searchpath. After copying the files from the directory bsaylor into the /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/ directory, svf~ is available. dito for aenv~.
Maybe Pd doesn't use subdirectories or has a problem with more than one version of a file. Any comments?
