usually you don't have to: the binary for [expr] (expr.pd_linux) lives 
in /usr/lib/pd/extra/ (being a link to 
/usr/lib/pd/extra/expr~/expr.pd_linux)

if it doesn't work out of the box, your installation is somehow broken.
did you install it yourself or did you use a package?
which filesystem is Pd installed on?
