Hi Ico

cd pd/src

make distclean
aclocal
autoconf
./configure (with flags you wish to use, typically --prefix=/usr
--enable-jack --enable-alsa)
make
cp pd.tk ../bin (old stale one crept into the tarball inside the bin
directory--I will fix this shortly and reupload the tarball)

at that point you can either:
cd ../bin
./pd

or (if you feel like this version is worthy being installed system-wide)
make install
pd

I have gotten further with compiling but I do get the following error at make install:

Thanks for any tips-almost got it going
