You have the right source for that file, packages/linux_make. But I
don't think your problems below have anything to do with that file,
rather how the libraries were built and installed.

These are however included in the example default.pdsettings inside
of the packages/linux_make folder. Hence my confusion. So, where is
the "official" default.pdsettings then located?

For something like list-abs, with only abstractions, its just a
question of getting the files in the right place. Look at the Pd-extended release for an example. For the "can't find symbol" errors, looks
like those objects weren't built properly. Looks like you also threw in a markex.pd_linux and cxc.pd_linux, which Pd-extended does not.

Hans (and others who may know the answer to the following question),

I've tried using default.pdextended included in the ~/pd-extended/packages/linux_make/ folder in conjunction with the
latest build of pd-extended (built from scratch) for auto-loading some of
the libs and found that some of the newly recompiled externals report
errors as follows:

Interestingly cxc's object that throws unknown symbol as part of lib opens just fine and behaves (AFAIK) as expected.

Also, FWIW, these compiled without a hitch on 0.42.5 extended.

So, I guess my question is, is the latest pd-extended meant to use default.pdextended at all and if so, what is the reason for the said errors?

Please advise.
