well stable is in my PATH (/usr/local/bin) and i can run instances of 
pd-devil and pd-angel simultaneously at the same time.
both are able to load externals compiled against some stable version 
(not entirely sure which, but i guess it was as recent as 0.38-4)

putting devel in the path didn't work out of the box (not finding the 
correct pd-gui), so i haven't tested this combination.

wow, real magic!

#>ldd zexy.pd_linux
         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7fa8000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7e73000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

so what do you mean exactly by "linking back to (the wrong) pd" ?

ok, the external-loading problem has been the same for me, now that i 
tried to get into it again.

what i finally did was:
#> cd .../pd
#> mv src src.bak
#> cvs up -d
#> bootstrap
%note: i changed the hardcoded versions of aclocal and automake to match 
the ones i installed onmy machine (to be precise, i changed them to 
"aclocal" instead of "aclocal-1.9" (and similar for automake); see below)
#> ./convigure
#> make
#> ./bin/pd

and i really tried to remove each leftover from older configures/builds.

i have automake1.7 installed on my system.


my advice for now is to do a complete fresh checkout of pd.
