...not correct, and there are three ways to fix it:

1. pd -lib /usr/local/app/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1-linux-i686/lib/pd/ 
extra/pdp.pd_linux

or

2. pd -path /usr/local/app/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1-linux-i686/lib/pd/ 
extra -lib pdp.pd_linux

or

3. pd -lib pdp.pd_linux

...this last one works because "lib/pd/extra" is usually  
automatically in the list of paths that pd will search for externals...

...you might also want to load pidip.pd_linux...
