Hi John,
first try pddir flag to set the pd path. It could works.
But if it doesn't, as for me, you can try to use pd-vanila (for [pd~])
in conjunction with pd-extended libraries/externals (the extra dir).
After a night of pd Chat and testing (different machines, different
platforms) was the only way to get it working on linux. Seems to
remember pd~ works correctly on MacOS X.
I know it's not elegant but it's worked for me. I'm curious to know if
someone get it working.
