I've just installed Pd-extended 0.42.5 from the Ubuntu Lucid repo at http://apt.puredata.info/releases, and I've successfully built gridflow 9.11. However I have a couple of problems: gridflow objects that bridge with gem & pdp like #to_pix or #to_pdp do not work. Maybe because there are no gem or pdp includes in the pd-extended package?
In the startup list, "gridflow" needs to be listed after "gem" and after "pdp" so that those components work. Also make sure that your build of GF does include GEM support. PDP support is a mandatory component in the build, and starting with 9.12, GEM support also is. But they become mandatory at build time for two reasons : they become optional at run time, and they include their own copies of the headers (of GEM, PDP, and now, the headers of Pd too). This means that you can build a full GF build without even having Pd installed at all, and the build will still be able to run with Pd, GEM and PDP.
The second problem is related to the missing support for libv4l2 in the lucid package... In fact I have to use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so pdextended to make my webcam work with pd-extended... Could you provide a build with v4l2 support?
BTW, did you get libv4l1 support in your GF build ? (there's currently no v4l2 API support at this point in GF though... it only understands v4l2 through the v4l1 interface and only if you have libv4l1 support enabled)
