Yes. The Pd versions you're using are compiled using GCC which means they only load externals and libraries that are compiled with GCC too. I guess GEM from the IEM site was compiled with SGI's C compiler. You have to recompile GEM with GCC or use Pd compiled with the SGI C compiler.

-That's what I guessed also: compile everything with the same compiler, or otherwise hell will break loose...
