it should be possible to use the the debian package in /usr/ and install
devel to /usr/local ... you just have to take care that you run the
binaries from the absolute path ...

well, iirc the debian package doesn't include pd's private headers (i.e.
m_imp.h and g_canvas.h) ... you will be able to compile most externals,
but no externals requiring these header files (e.g. cyclone, toxy,
flext)

well, i'd be curious about the -verbose output ... anyway, just make
sure, not to mix the build systems and to clean all old pd binaries and
object files ...

well, i doubt that is the reason ...
