Hmmm... I have not used pdj recently, but on my system the pd path had to be set to the "dist" directory of the pdj package. This is where pdj.pd_linux is located, too. I am stuck on version 0.8.6, however, YYMV. Keep in mind that pd's search path is not recursive. However, on my system, the help class is instantiated by [pdj help_class] (note the underscore).

in pdj.properties, the only thing you will want to set is pdj.classes-dir to the place where you intend to store your java source code, especially if you keep the pdj directory (and therefore its classes directory) in some place not accessible by a normal user (as is your case right now).

On the other hand, why not simply set pd path to the pdj/dist directory rather than copying it to /usr/lib/pd/extra?

Hope some of this helps.

I'm reading through the 'pdj.properties' file but not sure of what to modify

any help is appreciated! ??
