Pd goes to some length to stay binary compatible, so you can use the
"pd-*" packages without a problem.

the main obstacle will be the search path: your self-compiled Pd will
most likely search the libraries in /usr/local/lib/pd/extra whereas the
pd-* packages install to /usr/lib/pd/extra/

I had something like that in mind, but the Pd compiled from source didn't create a /usr/local/lib/pd directory. Everything is lying in it's own directory (in this case /home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4/ ).

Should I create the /usr/local/lib directory?

Forgot to mention that I haven't installed Pd with apt-get, so there's no /usr/lib/pd either..

simply adding /usr/lib/pd/extra to your search path should fix that.
