Thanks! The xmms-devel worked fine, but still no luck with mysqlclient15-devel nor mysqlclient15-dev. I even search for mysqlclient packages on Fedora website but they only have mysqlclient14 and 10 and only for fedora 9 and 7. Would it be fine to use version 14 for f9 instead?

I think I did follow similar instructions when installing pd-extended last time, only without the prefix option. 
Btw. I don't have the CCRMA version installed. At the moment I have pd-vanilla from Millers website installed in usr\local so I guess I should install the extended version somewhere else. I just don't quite get this:

   "you need to always start Pd in its bin dir with ./pd in order for it to find all its stuff"

does it mean I need to cd to pd's bin directory and type ./pd in the terminal to start it?

thanks again.
