In most Linux distributions, versions are set in the package manager and changing versions of the distribution (aka Ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10, etc) changes the versions of all packages on the system. This is a *good* thing since many programs rely on specific versions of libraries and changing certain things but not others can lead to instability, crashes, etc. Which version of pd that is in the package manager is then defined by which overall version of the distribution you are using.
Debian sticks with a “stable” and “unstable” metaphor where stable is usually older but much more tested and hence “stable. If you want newer and more bleeding edge stuff, you’ll need to use the unstable distribution instead which probably has a newer version of pd. Barring that, you might be able to add a separate ppa source for newer builds and/or download the prebuilt binary from Miller and/or download the source and build it yourself (it’s easy).

I've had the same issue on RPi. I'm no backend Linux guy either but it seems problematic for Pd's available current version to be tied to an OS release. Is there some way around this?

don't get what the first meant :/ but not important!
and/or download the prebuilt binary from Miller
So there's a pre-built version from Miller that should work on C.H.I.P., and is this the one? :)
Pd version 0.47-1 compiled for ARMv7/linux (Raspberry Pi version 2; UDOO) (4 Megabytes) http://msp.ucsd.edu/Software/pd-0.47-1.armv7.tar.gz.
and/or download the source and build it yourself (it’s easy).
step by step recipe for dummies?
thanks

I dunno. Does the CHIP have that same architecture? (armv7) Worth a try.

The standard auto tools method (I think this is listed in the readme/install instructions):
cd path/to/pd/source ./configure make
run with:
cd bin ./pd
install with:
sudo make install

I tried to build it on RPi 2 (also noob here - my first build ever). I think I installed all the required build tools. It almost worked on the third try but still wouldn't launch. I'd love to hear how your attempt goes Alexandre.

You all suck at finding documentation ;)

lo and behold!, that's the best answer so far... how to download, build and install a version of Pd that is already available via apt-get anyhow, the complicated way. :-)
