be aware that [declare] and [lib] behavior just changed a bit; they now
scan sub-directories of:
- 1 calling patch folder
- 2 paths that you declared in Pd preferences
- 3 standard paths (e.g /usr/lib/pd/extra or ~/.local/lib/pd/extra)

So whatever the way you chose to install "foo" library, i.e whether "foo"
folder has been copied locally to the patch, or in "/myHome/myLibs"
(provided that you declared "myHome/myLibs" in Pd's path preferences), or
in "/usr/lib/pd/extra" (because you used apt-get), all you have to do is
put a [declare -path foo] in the calling patch so you can use objects from
"foo".
