The message you probably get, is "cannot find .pdrc" or something alike. Put all your libraries in the folder named "extra", which automatically gets searched by pd (if you have a recent version). start pd with -lib followed by your libraries and the other options you want. Or create a .pdrc file and save it to your home directory. In it you put the command line options you want. I believe it's a new line for every option:
-rt -lib ... -path ...
And start reading about linux in general :).

OK, now I am becoming concerned. I tried both Frank and mik's suggestions and all I get is "no such file or directory." Yet when I open pd it will
say
"home/trolls/.pdrc." If I go to another directory, such as usr/lib, and
open
pd, it says "usr/lib/.pdrc." I'm getting this strange Microsoft flashback where a program would create a temp file when started, and erase it when closed. It doesn't sound like this is what should happen, but it reminds
me
of it. Is there any other way to check this? I have also tried un-hiding hidden files in the gnome filemanager and looking for it there, but can't find it. And I tried to use locate .pdrc, but that didn't work.
Also, after being able to use zexy by directing it to the path yesterday,
I
cannot open it today. I get "zexy: cannot load library." I have checked
and
rechecked and rechecked again the path. Is it starting to look like my system could be messed up? Am I streching? Perhaps I am sleeping and this
is
just a bad dream. Any ideas are welcome.
Regards, Tim

there could be a lot .pdrc-files, but the one used by PD is the one in
your
home directory. You can find out, where your home directory is, with
this
command:
$ echo $HOME /home/frank
Your .pdrc always is in $HOME/.pdrc
Another shortcut for $HOME is the tilde ~ Try "less ~/.pdrc" -- __ __ Frank Barknecht ____ ______ ____ __ trip\ \ / /wire ______ / __// __ /__/ __// // __ \ / / __ \ ___
