Is an installation of a /recent/ version of Pd vanilla (0.49 or 0.50) possible on an older linux computer?
Should be possible.
I am trying to install Pd 0.50.2 on two older Ubuntu Studio laptops, one has Ubuntu 14.04, the other Ubuntu 16.04. When I try to install the deb package from https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/puredata/
Pd is atomised into many tiny debs, you'd need all of them...
I get a dependencies error, saying that I need a higher version of libc6.
The chances of random binaries from the internet working are smaller than with Windows I guess.
Is it a solution to try compiling the Pd source code on both machines?
Yes I think so. But it might be awkward with packaged Pd externals (you'd need to keep the old pd around and tell the new Pd where the externals are).
here's an old answer, slightly polished (and hopefully not introducing to many bugs). run each line (apart from the <script>-tags) in your terminal:
<script> export LANG=C MAINREPO=https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/ PDVER=0.50.2-1 sudo apt-get install devscripts mkdir -p build cd build dget -u ${MAINREPO}/p/puredata/puredata_${PDVER}.dsc cd puredata-${PDVER%-*} mk-build-deps -ir dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

sudo dpkg -i ../*${PDVER}_*.deb </script>
if there are errors, read them out loud.
