The above problem was caused because the patches to Pd core were not
applied before compiling. You need to "cd packages && make patch_pd"
before compiling to make sure all the required patches are included.
thanks for the reply. I tried what you said, but it just provokes more
mistakes or questions which I don't even know how to answer, I just said
"y" to everything. Here is a transcript, in case you think it might be
necessary - which it might not, due to the next point you raised.
Also, it will take a lot of manual tweaking unless you use the same
version of Pd-core as the Pd-extended build system (currently, its on
0.39.2).
ok, then how do I get the "correct" version? to get everything I just
followed the instructions given on the
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Debian page. Which until now it was
the nearest to ubuntu that could be found, I think. I thought that once
these were documented, they would be the right steps to do.
[If anyone's interested I can even make a direct ssh connection with
someone that could compile this on this system and let him work.]
