It's working now. Here is my solution

find /usr/local/lib/pd -name svf\* gives:

/usr/local/lib/pd/doc/examples/cyclone/svf-test.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd/extra/bsaylor/svf~.pd_linux
/usr/local/lib/pd/extra/cyclone/svf~.pd_linux
/usr/local/lib/pd/extra/flatspace/svf~.pd_linux

only /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/ is in the startup searchpath. After
copying the files from the directory bsaylor into the
/usr/local/lib/pd/extra/ directory, svf~ is available. dito for aenv~.

Maybe Pd doesn't use subdirectories or has a problem with more than one
version of a file. Any comments?
