Hello,
I'm trying to comunicate pd with arduino (under linux ubuntu), with pduino for example, but my pd 0.40-2 version doesn't have "pd-cvs/externals/iem/comport". Where can I find externals? I suppose I will need as well "pd-cvs/externals/iemlib" and "pd-cvs/externals/hardware/arduino" maybe?
I tried to install a pd extended version from http://puredata.info/downloads but the installer is asking for "libflac7"...
May I get some help? Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I had the exact same problems about a week ago, and ended up building my own Pd-extended. If you want to use the package, you should install it from a terminal using something like "dpkg -i --force-depends Pd-whatever.deb" which tells dpkg to ignore the libflac7 and libquicktime0 dependencies. By ignoring these dependencies, you will be breaking a few of the extensions, mainly PiDiP, perhaps others. But you will have a working [comport]. Also, synaptic will complain about a broken database or something when you force the dependencies, so you'll want to edit your /var/lib/dpkg/status file and actually remove "libflac7" and "libquicktime0" from the list where it says "Depends:". For me, libflac7 and libquicktime0 are the only dependencies I couldn't get in the repos, so if you see any other dependency errors when you run the dpkg command, get those packages from synaptic. Hope this helps...

I think I got those (flac7 and quicktime0) from debian and everything worked OK, at least pdip loads, but I never stress tested it.
