[PD] pd, windows & ubuntu

[Kevin McCoy]

Does the sigpack library load when you specify it in the "Startup"
preferences?  The .pd_linux extension is just a pd external binary for
linux.  I have had problems like this before - try running pd with
verbose (pd -verbose from the terminal) and see what you get as far as
specific errors.  This can and will be fixed - it's probably something
simple :)
