[PD-dev] compiling pd-devel & pd 0.38-4 noise on startup

well first of all HEAD is not devel!
the missing configure script should be easy to rebuild: "cd ./src/ &&
autoconf"

if you want to use devel, i'd recommend to try the branch tagged
"devel_0_38" or the latest tarball on sf.net
there are currently two ways to build devel_0_38, an autoconf system
(after running the ./bootstrap.sh script) or the brand new scons build
system (which will most likely work on linux only, since i don't have
access to a mac and i haven't finished installing windoze on my laptop).

in general, i'd recomment devel_0_38, since it's pretty stable, has an
improved scheduler tuned for lowest latencies and performs faster due to
handcoded simd code ...

for the noise problem ... if you can reproduce this on devel, i'd be
willing to look into it ...

cheers ... tim
