thanks for the clarification.

i do not doubt that this is correct.
otoh, i could also do something like
PATH="${PATH}:$(find / -type d -exec echo -n \{\}: \;)" will make it work.

i am sure that the latter is a bad idea, and i do think that the your 
solution is not much better: adding arbitrary paths to a script like 
configure might be fatal.


in the meantime you could set configure's path explicitely from outside:


> PATH=${PATH}:/bin/sw  ./configure

or even better: set the path for the entire make-process of pd-extended:

> cd /bi/ba/bo/pd-extended/puredata/packages
> PATH=${PATH}:/bin/sw  make
