dont know about install, miller said something a while ago about that itwont install, i havent tried it. why would it not thoug?
I think "make install" doesn't work on Debian (minor compatibility problems) but someone, I forgot who, has reported how you can change the makefile for Debian. I think that in RedHat you can just "make install" although I've never done that, since I don't see any advantage to it...

It was me. :] I sent a patch few days ago. Soeren, if you need it I can send it to you. The only real problem is that option -D in install command must be replaced with -d and you are all set. Deleting the /usr/lib/pd tree before installing can't hurt, unless you have something special put there...

Well, the help says tha docs can be found in /usr/lib/pd/doc so why not put it there :). Oh and one more thing: the help says the HTML docs are in /usr/lib/pd/doc/1.manual/index.html, but in fact all the .html docs are suffixed .htm. Oh, and LICENSE.txt and README.txt are never installed into the /usr/lib/pd...
Yes, I know I am just nitpicking... :)

I had to add the installation stuff, because otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to include it into Debian (nor would it be possible to include it into any other distribution).
The install -D is a makefile bug on Redhat too (AFAIK).
Differences between distributions are primarily caused by libraries used with pd (like tcl/tk and libc).
Ah, and ... yes ... the advantage of the make install is simply, that different users can work with the same pd binary and documentation.
Most Linux users are used to the "make install" step, so I think we should include Miha's patch. (and the empty obj directory )
