OK, I did it once more and found out that it installed the files in /usr/local/lib/ instead of /user/lib/ where it used to be.
You need to set the prefix to /usr as the default with autoconf is /usr/local
./configure —prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install
as joel has pointed out, you probably *should not* manually install into /usr/ (this is the turf of your system's package manager).
the proper way would be to install (system-wide) externals sowmehere into /usr/local/ where a Pd that is intalled into /usr/ can find it. there are two ways to accomplish that:
all Pd-versions since 0.43 or so) OR
there by adding this path to your preferences.
Could I simply move the pd folder to the old directory (/user/lib/) or would that cause problems?
See above.
see above why not :-)
