Thanks for the help guys! So I deleted the "-m32" from the makefile and then everything seemed to build okay. I then added the correct path for the extension in pure data and loaded the "gpio-help.pd" patch without getting an error message. In the gpio-help.pd patch I would click "enable 1" and then click "open 1" and after clicking "open 1" I would get an error message: "/sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value: No such file or directory".

I then realized that I probably needed to install wiringPi. I downloaded this and installed it. However I would still get the previous error message within PD. I then decided to manually try to create the file using commands in LXTerminal. I did this using this command, "echo "17" |sudo tee /sys/class/gpio/export". I then noticed that the gpio17 folder and accompanying files were created. I was also able to correctly read the state of the pin using "gpio readall" command from LXTerminal.

I then loaded the "gpio-help.pd" file again in PD. Now once I click "open 1" instead of the no such file or directory error I get "/sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value: Permision denied" error. Is there someway I can use this GPIO library within the PD visual interface without getting permission denied errors? Also, shouldn't clicking "enable 1" within the gpio-help.pd patch create the "/sys/class/gpio/gpio17" folder and accompanying files? How can I get this to work within PD without having to run the commands from LXTerminal to create the folder/files? Do I need to somehow indicate to pure data the path of wirngPi?

Almost there! Really appreciate your guys patience with me and help on this!

it means that the makefile has a compiler flag "-m32" which is not
known to the compiler.

nothing. the build failed.

you could try editing your makefile and removing the "-m32"
occurences, and see what you get then.

make a backup of the makefile, before you go ahead.
