Ok, so I am now attempting to install pd-extended on a fresh 64-bit
9.10 Karmic Ubuntu desktop. The "Method 2" instructions on
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/64BitLinux/ seem to work fine
until I have to install libgomp.so.l

It seems to install using "sudo getlibs -l libgomp.so.l" just like all
the ones before it, but then when I open pd-extended I still receive
the following error:

/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem/Gem.pd_linux: libgomp.so.l: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
Gem: can't load library

Gem appears to be the only library that won't load, unfortunately it
is the one I care the most about.
