this is gonna sound like a dumb question but, is there an appropriate place for me to put gem pd's/pd_linux and motex pd's in linux? do i hav to put anything in /usr/bin?
No, don't put anything besides pd, pdsend and pdreceive in /usr/bin The two 'official' places are /usr/lib/pd/externs and /usr/lib/pd/extra,
[if someone could explain the difference, I'd like to know why there are two standard directories in the PD distribution.]
But you can also put them in any directory, that you have in you "pd-path", i.e. all directories after the "-dir" command line of conf. file option of PD.
The PD path has nothing to do with the standard search patch for executable binaries i.e. the environment variable PATH that you see with "echo $PATH"
