(I think the Gem error is unrelated, so I'm better opening another thread)
with the pd~-help i am experiencing the problem, that I can't move the objects in edit mode, clicked message boxes will keep their highlighted border permanently. That's only in the child process. Audio and Messages however can be sent from and to the subprocess.
SOLUTION
before sending the mail I found the problem, It may be useful as a future reference, so I am sending it anyways:
I suspect that when trying to install the current Pd, I re-set the path settings.
So in verbose mode I noticed that pd~ was found in /usr/local/lib/pd/extra I removed that path from the path settings and now pd~ is found somewhere else. It is the same (v0.3) but it works now.
tried /usr/lib/puredata/tcl/../extra/pd~/pd~.pd_linux and succeeded
This is strange - Pd extended should be using a different spot (~/.pdextended on linux) than pd vanilla to store user preferences. So I don't know why the two should be stepping on each others' toes like this.

Both are vanilla. What I am using is the Debian package Pd 0.45.4 and what I compiled and installed was Pd 0.46.0. I can't use the newer one because I wasn't able to get it to compile with jack... but that's another issue. I am fine with Pd 0.45.4 for the moment. I am not 100% sure what was going on, but the paths were "polluted" after the install so the repository version looked for pd~ in the wrong place. The pd~ which was found there did not work, may be because it was compiled without jack?

do you use jack1 or jack2? I have to use the later.
Anyways, I solved it. Didn't have the development files installed. after adding libjack-jackd2-dev it compiled. Was getting this before:
make -f makefile.gnu JACK=TRUE cc -DPD -DHAVE_LIBDL -DHAVE_UNISTD_H -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H
s_audio_jack.c s_audio_jack.c:15:27: fatal error: jack/weakjack.h: No such file or directory #include <jack/weakjack.h> ^ compilation terminated. make: *** [s_audio_jack.o] Error 1

for what it is wort: Debian already has 0.46.0 in testing [1].
let me recapitulate your setup:
lives in /usr/lib/puredata/
has jack enabled
lives in /usr/local/lib/pd
does not have jack enabled
"/usr/bin/puredata" (0,45; the debian package)
is that correct?
the jack-error you get indicates some problem with jack, but it might as well not (and it would be *very* weird if the pd~.pd_linux having *no* jack support would trigger a problem here. butthen: who knows?)
i don't think this is the case at all (i mean: there is no stepping on anyones toes).
someone added /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/ to the search path of *pd-vanilla* (either the user or some external - e.g. mine have a reputation for fuddling with the search path), and this led to some conflict.
i don't see much we could do about that apart from putting a Pd-version check inplace and issue a bold warning if somebody tries to load an external compiled for another version of Pd. and then: we probably don't want to go there (since Pd has a very stable external ABI, and this is one of it's features).
so if my recapitulation above is correct, then the only problem we were seeing was, that the external launched a non-working version of Pd. this is probably a thing that can be fixed in pd~: i guess it is sane to assume that [pd~] should really launch the same version of Pd it is running in (rather than the one it is relative to): that is when running $ /home/foo/mystuff/pd/bin/pd -lib /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pd~ then pd~ should *also* start /home/foo/mystuff/pd/bin/pd rather than /usr/local/bin/pd
if this is not the case, than we have the simple case that we have two (conflicting) versions of an external installed, and the way Pd loads externals preferred the buggy one. i don't think there is anything we can really do about that, apart from changing the search path order, which i think is a no go. (after all, the search path order has been constructed in order to allow a bugfixed external replace a buggy system-shipped one; alas! it can be used in the other way round as well)

cool, thanks for that. I guess it is just a matter of patience until it tickles down to Linux Mint.
as far as I can tell, I think that's what was happening.
the Jack error is unrelated and is still there. It doesn't seem to do any harm though as it is running fine.
I agree entirely. It did cost me some time to figure out what is happening, and that's frustrating. But if you'd ask me what could be done to make it better or foolprof - I don't think there is a flaw in existing way how it works.
