I tried Hans' .pdsettings and Pd tells me:

Is the Gem with the Gem cut off?

shared object file: No such file or directory pdp: can't load library
You'll need to install libgslcblas.so.0:
apt-get install libgsl0
gridflow: can't load library
GridFlow is not in Pd-extended (yet?). GridFlow is not in
the .pdsettings file that i generated. Perhaps you need to delete a
~/.pdrc?
ascii: can't load library
Neither is this, I don't know what that is. Its not in
the .pdsettings I generated either.
So, I took Tom's advice and added paths for all the subfolders in / usr/lib/pd/extra. Many more things work now, but about 1/4 of
everything is missing still. There are all some object errors.
Here are some of the most recent that I ran into in my day's
exploration:
ext13 - [cdplayer] load_object: Symbol "cdplayer_setup" not found cdplayer ... couldn't create
Donno if anyone is maintaining that...
vasp library missing, but help files are there [pool] and [OSC] not there. [Gem] too... but I think you have
mentioned this isn't possible yet.
On GNU/Linux, those aren't included yet. But I am working on finding
people to help me get it included. I need help with getting flext
and Gem building with Pd-extended. Any volunteers?
On the positive side, the Pd Documentation Browser is really nice
in 39.2. References and manuals are easy to find. On the negative
side, right-click helps don't work, I probably have to add a - helppath flag for every subfolder in the pd/doc/5.reference
folder. I'd like to help do what I can, but I think most of my
problems are because I cannot load the 'libdirs' as
your .pdsettings file does.
The libdir thing will handle the helppaths.
I hate to always ask questions about why things aren't working...
but dernit, this program has a steap learning curve and I'm working
on it. You guys do amazing work and I'm determined to get up to
speed at the risk of being annoying.
It does indeed, but I don't think anyone thinks this is a good
thing. Its just a matter of doing the work to make things run
smoothly. One thing you could do is document your process of trying
to get things working. You can get a free site on puredata.org and
make a wiki page there, or whatever.

the great job.Thanks, its actually the collected effort of many, many people. I
guess I am the most visible since I most recently put a big chunk
of work in.I do not understand your loading of folders as libs (like toxy,
cyclone, hid, etc..). Is this a kind of hack so that Pd searches
those folders for the external?Yeah, is a hack I call libdirs that I plan on developing further
into a generic library format for objects written in any language,
C, C++, Pd, C#, python, whatever. This would be in conjunction
with Thomas' loader extension and things like the Common Language
Runtime API for Pd that was recently announced.Here is some documentation about the idea and what's actually
implemented:http://puredata.org/docs/developer/Libdir
Once Pd goes up a version I will switch to you pd-extended and try
to help.Excellent! The more, the merrier :)

Or even better you could write a .pdsettings file that loads each
lib/ libdir in Pd-extended and send it to me to include in future packages. I already have such a file for Mac OS X and Windows, but I haven't had a chance to make one for GNU/Linux.Here's the list of libs included in Pd-extended:
Gem cyclone zexy cxc ext13 fftease hid iemabs iemmatrix liblist list- abs mapping mar kex maxlib memento mjlib motex oscx pddp pdogg pdp pidip pixeltango pmpd rradical sigpack smlib toxy unauthorized vasp vbap xsample
This script automatically generates the Mac OS X and Windows one:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pure-data/scripts/generate-pd- settings-files.sh?rev=1.2&view=log
Probably the best solution would be to add the code to make this script also generate a .pd-settings file for GNU/Linux.

Could anyone help me get the linux Pd-extended examples working? I have both 38.4-RC8 and 39.2-test1 running, but with the same problem: none of the externals in the example patches are found. I can use the externals in pd/extra/ but most of the externals that are in subdirectories are not locatable within Pd.
Everything installs smoothly...and there doesn't seem to be any libraries that need to be loaded.. I'm stuck.
Thanks for any help, Richie
