HI Frank,
Thanks for taking the time to look at this!
a/ Some more information that might help: after I uninstalled pd-extended 0.38, I reinstalled the OS (ubuntu feisty 7.04).
So the autobuild was installed on a fresh OS.
b/ I am still not succeeding with the pd install. Following your instructions, and performing configure && make in ../pd/src, i received the message below:
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create ../obj/g_canvas.o: Permission denied make: *** [g_canvas.o] Error 1<<
and, of course, pd would not start.
please, any more instructions????
thankyou very much for your help, Ruth
So I guess there's something wrong on Ruth's machine. But
what could it be?<
Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect. Join Yahoo!'s user panel and lay it on us.

Somehow either the access permissions on the directory "obj" are wrong, or the directory is missing altogether.
You should be able to fix the permissions with something like "chmod 777 /path/to/pd/obj" or by using the Filemanager of Gnome, and check the Properties of the directory. If it's missing altogether, then just create it anew.
Ciao

My choice was to give up on Ubuntu and go for Debian, Ubutu gave me a taste of the Debian-style distro, but lacks packages I wanted. (Still have a soft spot for Slackware though) It was not due to a problem like yours however..
When compiling stuff, I usually do as root,thus avoiding any such permission problem. In the Ubuntu universe this takes a bit of finagling since by default you are 'supposed' to only use sudo to execute root commands because actually logging in as root is supposed to be 'bad' in some way.
I don't know if Ubuntu has a pd package but Debian does, http://packages.debian.org/stable/sound/puredata
and I believe the maintainer of the package is on this list too. You may be able to install in on your Ubuntu if the dependencies are met. It's probably worth a try , even if it doesn't work it may provide further information on what the problem is! Any Ubutu experts here care to elaborate ?
I think it's basically vanilla, and you still need to install the externals that you want. But that's not so hard .
