[PD] compiling pd-0.39-2 on ubuntu

[Roman Haefeli]

hi martin

i never had this error myself. i just installed ubuntu on my pc-laptop
and netpd works (pd crashes sometimes when runnig as root and with
jack). so it's hard to say what might be the reason for this behaviour
in your case. from my experience with pd, i noticed that pd sometimes
has problem when doing much things on patch loadtime. in case of
_chat.pd, chat tries to read the file netpd-settings.txt on loadbang
and creates one if there isn't any. if there is one, it reads it and
sets all the guis in _chat.pd to the corresponding appearance. if you
like, you can meet me at #dataflow and we could try some things like
setting a delay after [loadbang] or so. 

cheers
roman
