What happened to #2? ;)  Anyway, this depends on where and how you  
installed Pd.  If you used the installer, then the externals are  
installed into /usr/local/lib/pd/extra.

pdb is a great resource, but unfortunately, since it has to be manually  
updated, it doesn't get updated much.  So it shouldn't be taken as  
definitive.  The easiest way to find out what objects are installed on  
your computer is to look in the above mentioned externals directory.
