OK, I'm confused.
I have the latest versions of Gridflow installed on both Mac OS 10.6 and Ubuntu 10.4 and I'm having a problem configuring the Ubuntu installation the way I want it to work (somehow, the Mac installation does exactly what I need - intended or not - while Ubuntu is being stubborn).
I want to load the Gridglow library only through [import gridflow] (mostly because it conflicts with [range] which I do use a lot - that's a topic for a different discusion), but I also want to have the gridflow help files accesible from the helpbrowser.
Both systems have Pd-extended 0.42.5 installed.
On both systems, I have paths set to .../gridflow/abstractions and .../gridflow/depricated (this seems to be part of the Gridflow setup? because I don't remember having set these manually)
On both systems, there is no "gridflow" entry in Startup.
On the Mac, [import gridflow] works. On Ubuntu, it generates a "can't load library in 'gridflow'" error. I can only get Gridflow to load if I add the path to it to Startup.
On the Mac, all Gridflow help files show up in the helpbrowser, under a separate directory. On Ubuntu, the Gridflow help files do not show up at all.
How do I make the Ubuntu installation behave as if it was a Mac ? :)

try doing it manually : copy the gridflow help folder and place it /usr/lib/pd/doc and next time you load up pd it will be in the help browser.... There is probably a better way of doing tho

Yes, do it manually using an alias.
You can do that using a «ln -s» command, or using the Finder or equivalent.

I used "ln -s /usr/lib/pd/extra/gridflow/doc/ /usr/lib/pd/doc/gridflow" to create a symlink called gridflow that points to the gridflow doc directory. The symlink work and takes me inside the gridflow doc directory, but when I start up Pd, Gridflow is still not available in the helpbrowser.

Well, that may be a problem with something else than GridFlow, then. I don't know. I don't use the help browser, so, I didn't try the symlink trick.
Instead I recommend the menu item called «GridFlow Index» in the help menu. I designed it to feel similar to Miller's Pd Index, except GridFlow's is more detailed, as it has always one description per class.
