I'm on a slow learning curve here, a mac user experimenting with Linux on an MSI Wind U100 clone (Advent 4211-c). So far I have Ubuntu Studio 9.10 up and running. Pd is included, but it seems to be a vanilla version, and I really need various libraries.
It seems that there is currently no package for Pd-extended in the ubuntu repositories. So, I uninstalled pd (vanilla) in Synaptic Package Manager, and downloaded and installed this instead;
http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/Pd-0.42.5-extended-ubuntu-k armic-i386.deb
It basically seems to launch and work. However, by default, it seems to launch with no libraries. When I add libraries to, whatever you call it, that page where you add libraries, only Gem seems successful, otherwise I get errors, for instance;
cyclone: can't load library
The files would all seem to be there in usr/lib/pd. What now?

Perhaps you have old perferences? Try renaming or deleting these files:
~/.pdrc ~/.pdsettings
.hc

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice,
it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
