I managed to install Pd-extended. I now try to use pdp and pidip
objects but they "don't create". Reading through the list archive, I understood that i was supposed
to load the library pdp, but there i'm not quite sure of what i'm
doing.

is this correct : ? pd -lib /usr/local/app/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1-linux-i686/lib/pd/ extra/pdp.pd_linux/pdp

...not correct, and there are three ways to fix it:

1. pd -lib /usr/local/app/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1-linux-i686/lib/pd/

extra/pdp.pd_linux

or

2. pd -path /usr/local/app/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1-linux-i686/lib/pd/

extra -lib pdp.pd_linux

or

3. pd -lib pdp.pd_linux

...this last one works because "lib/pd/extra" is usually
automatically in the list of paths that pd will search for externals...

If yes, why do I get "/usr/local/app/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1-linux- i686/lib/pd/extra/pdp.pd_linux: can't load library" ?

If pdp has to be loaded starting PD, is there any other package I'm
supposed to load ?

...you might also want to load pidip.pd_linux...
