.pdrc is a file you should put in your home directory (i.e.: ~/ or /home/[your username]/) and it can include any commandline switch you usually use to launch pd.
If you do the command 'ls -a' in your home dir, you will probably see many dot files listed.
mine looks like this:
-mididev 3 -path /usr/local/lib/pd/externs:/home/mis/pdWork/MiSlib:/home/mis/pdWork/abstrus:/home/mis/pdWork/jimmies:/usr/local/lib/pd/externs/abs:/usr/local/lib/pd/extra:/home/mis/downloads/pd:/home/mis/pdWork/py:/usr/local/lib/pd/externs/mp3cast~:/usr/local/lib/pd/externs/cyclone -helppath /home/mis/downloads/cyclone-help -lib /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/zexy -lib /home/mis/pdWork/gripd/gripd -lib /home/mis/pdWork/d_mp3/d_mp3
[... many other -lib entries ...]
