Update:

_Regarding the weird look of Pd: I had to edit the .pdextended file to bring it back to the default settings, because it was not replaced with the new installation. So it kept old hack I did that were messing up with Pd rc4. Only the grey-sh console is still there.

_The help-browser automagically fixed himself. Don't know why, but now it works fine and I don't get any error in the consolle.

finally.. I have uploaded the .deb package of Pd-extended rc4 for Jaunty here:

Anyone wanting to test it, please, do so.

However, I'm finally happy and I learned more in these 4 days than the last 4 months,... thanks everybody for the help, obviously me and my machine are now ready for building future Pd releases.

Ok, I have successfully build a package (pd-ext rc4 jaunty).

Make sure you have libquicktime-dev installed. This was what solved it

for me.

Thank Ailo, but seems to me libquicktime-dev is a build requirement for pdp, not for pidip (this is what I read in the INSTALL). The problem was about libmagick dev libs... so in order to be build properly pidip seems to need libmagickcore-dev, libmagickwand-dev, libmagick++-dev.

The package I build installed successfully on my machine, but at a first look there are other issues.

1_Pd looks weird and quite different from latest autobuild from April I had previously installed. I don't know if this is how it's supposed to look, so please, tell me. Take a look at this screenshot:

2_The help browser (as you can notice in the same image above) shows all Pd objects help patches in no particular order. Libraries are thrown in the mix and it's quite a pain to find them. I assume it's not supposed to be so.

I guess these are problems related to my build process... any idea?
