the point is that after editing config-mac-pd-gcc.txt you'll have to  
run "build.sh pd gcc" again, NOT "build.sh pd gcc install".
I'll have to include this into the docs, it seems to be a very common  
source of problems - "build install" doesn NOT automatically build the  
flext package, it just wants to install it, which is not possible if it  
hasn't been built before.

best greetings,
Thomas
