Got it working by now! Still need some help, though (see below)!

Here's how I installed it:

Downloaded "Pd-0.43.4-extended-ubuntu-precise-i386.deb" from
http://apt.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/

got the dependencies, etc. first:	apt-get build-dep puredata gem
pd-pdp
			
add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases `lsb_release -c |
awk '{print $2}'` main"

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 9f0fe587374bbe81
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key D63D3D09C39F5EEB
apt-get update

installed compiled .deb package:
dpkg -i Pd-0.43.4-extended-ubuntu-precise-i386.deb

to resolve dependencies:	-	apt-get -f install
once more:	dpkg -i Pd-0.43.4-extended-ubuntu-precise-i386.deb


After that some external libraries were not working correctly!

Then I removed the existing Pd-extended version and did a new installation
with	apt-get install pd-extended

Now all libraries were there (except for those that had been removed on
purpose of course)!
********************************************************************


Now I still have two problems left:

1) font size
   
since the patch had been updated already from 0.40.3 I used to have to apply
a font hack in /usr/lib/pd-extended/bin/pd.tk
change line 136:	tk skaling 1.3  (from originally 1)

This is not working anymore! Now all my canvas titles, numberbox names, etc.
are very small.

Is there a way to do a tcl/tk scaling like in 0.42.5 which used tk 8.4
instead of the 8.5 version of 0.43.4 ?

I found some scaling in /usr/lib/pd-extended/tcl/pd-gui.tcl
However, changing the scaling there from 1 to 1.3 has no effect.


2) [hcs/sysgui]

It used to be possible to move, resize or iconify the pd-window with
[hcs/sysgui] by using "." (="period") as the window name.

This is not working anymore either. Does anybody know the new window name of
the pd console?
Here's an example:

[wm iconify .(	or	[wm deiconify .(
|				|
[hcs/sysgui]		[hcs/sysgui]

Any help appreciated ...

Thanks!
Ingo
