[PD] Linux - which distribution to use?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Are you still running Ubuntu?  Which version? If so, run this command  
in a Terminal window:

/usr/local/bin/pd -stderr

Then copy and paste the resulting text into and email and send it to  
this list.  Mostly, your Ubuntu needs to have some packages  
installed.  You could also try running these commands in the Terminal:

aptitude install tcl8.4 tk8.4 libasound2 libjack0.100.0-0

aptitude install libspeex1 libsndfile1 fftw3 libogg0 libvorbis0a  
libvorbisenc2 libvorbisfile3

That should get you up and running at the minimum.
