Sorry I wasn't specific, GEM needs libgmerlin-avdec too.

There's a file called /etc/apt/sources.list.d/reduzierer-rdz-pd-extra
+deps-lucid.list whose contents are:
---
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reduzierer/rdz-pd-extra+deps/ubuntu lucid
main
---
I assume Lucid just organizes sources.list a little differently than
previous versions.  The other PPAs I have are handled the same way.

Curiously, in synaptic when sorting by Origin, your ppa is the only one
that isn't in the list.  This smells like a small quirky bug and my best
guesses at the moment are that either apt doesn't really like the '+'
character in the PPA name or my version of Lucid doesn't think your PPA
contains any packages for 64 bit lucid.

This was one of the easiest compiling experiences I've ever had in
ubuntu.  Following the pd-extended instructions and grabbing your
gmerlin .debs everything came together automatically into a nice
little .deb.

For anyone interested in that (it might work on your amd64 Lucid) you
can download it from:
http://imartron.com/misc/Pd-0.42.5-extended-20100510ppa1~Lucid1.deb

I'll figure out how to make my own ppa for that one day.
