yes, that's what I'm doing also, normally.

It's not, that I don't want to mess in /usr, because that would be
distribution land. I don't want to install to /usr/local, because I
build Debian packages for my distribution on my own. That way, upgrades
are handled by the Debian package system, and they become really
painless. So I do in fact want to install somewhere in /usr, an not in
/usr/local, but I'm not sure if e.g. flext.h should go to /usr/include
or somewhere under /usr/lib/pd or even in a yet nonexisting include
directory "/usr/include/pd"

This might be a question for PD in general. I have m_pd.h etc. in
/usr/include, I think that's okay, but it could clash with other headers
sometime, couldn't it?

In fact, I can't rebuild flext or xsample at the moment, because I always
get an "Internal compiler error", using gcc in version 2.95.4. Your
binaries work fine, though...

But so I can't build my own debian packages at the moment, and I copied
everything in $(PD-DIR)/extra now.

Ciao,
