There should be an executable called ruby, and it should also correspond
to the default libruby.so that will be found (sorry, I'm not into the
libtool black magic so running GridFlow with several versions of Ruby
might be a bit difficult)

(cd /usr/bin; ln -s ruby1.8 ruby)

PD-PATH and PD-SCR are not recognised make-variables nor env-variables. I
meant exactly the long names that are in the doc. Easiest is to set them
from ~/.bashrc using the "export" command and restart your shell. You may
also type "export" commands from the commandline just before doing
./configure and make, too.

You don't need the path to Pd's source at all.
