so, how do you recommend installing pd with some of the most  
important libaries on an ubuntu (debian) machine then?


what i actually did was:
first i looked into the synaptics manager, found pd. there was no  
info which version nor if it's bare pd or whatever, so i looked over  
to HCS's site because i run have good experiences with his release on  
osx. so i tried to install this one and  could not get Gem to run  
either even after installing libmpeg, lib imagemagick and whatever  
else was missing
even make itself seemed not to be there.

how to start over and get a working install now?

cheers, max
