[PD] can't use Pd-extended externals

I tried Hans' .pdsettings and Pd tells me:
em: can't load library
/usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp.pd_linux: libgslcblas.so.0: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
pdp: can't load library
gridflow: can't load library
ascii: can't load library
So, I took Tom's advice and added paths for all the subfolders in
/usr/lib/pd/extra. Many more things work now, but about 1/4 of everything
is missing still. There are all some object errors. Here are some of the
most recent that I ran into in my day's exploration:
ext13 - [cdplayer]
load_object: Symbol "cdplayer_setup" not found
cdplayer
... couldn't create
vasp library missing, but help files are there
[pool] and [OSC] not there. [Gem] too... but I think you have mentioned this
isn't possible yet.
On the positive side, the Pd Documentation Browser is really nice in 39.2.
References and manuals are easy to find. On the negative side, right-click
helps don't work, I probably have to add a -helppath flag for every
subfolder in the pd/doc/5.reference folder. I'd like to help do what I can,
but I think most of my problems are because I cannot load the 'libdirs' as
your .pdsettings file does.
I hate to always ask questions about why things aren't working... but
dernit, this program has a steap learning curve and I'm working on it. You
guys do amazing work and I'm determined to get up to speed at the risk of
being annoying.

I use a Debian package of PD, and compile some stuff, but I pick in your
compiled pd-extended externals often. Congratulations on the great job.
Thanks, its actually the collected effort of many, many people. I guess I
am the most visible since I most recently put a big chunk of work in.
I do not understand your loading of folders as libs (like toxy, cyclone,
hid, etc..). Is this a kind of hack so that Pd searches those folders for
the external?
Yeah, is a hack I call libdirs that I plan on developing further into a
generic library format for objects written in any language, C, C++, Pd, C#,
python, whatever. This would be in conjunction with Thomas' loader
extension and things like the Common Language Runtime API for Pd that was
recently announced.
Here is some documentation about the idea and what's actually implemented:
http://puredata.org/docs/developer/Libdir
Once Pd goes up a version I will switch to you pd-extended and try to help.
Excellent! The more, the merrier :)

Cool, just what I needed to fix up the script. Try this .pdsettings file:
