why do you build Pd in /usr/local/lib in the first place?

the straightforward way would be:
- extract Pd sources somewhere in your home-directory (e.g.
/home/peter/src/pd-0.46-6)
- cd into that directory and build Pd
- finally run `make install` with the appropriate priviliges (e.g. `sudo
make install`)
- which will install everything into /usr/local/

in general i would recommend to not run Pd in the build place.
and i strictly recommend to not put sources into /usr/local/lib/
