as joel has pointed out, you probably *should not* manually install into
/usr/ (this is the turf of your system's package manager).

the proper way would be to install (system-wide) externals sowmehere
into /usr/local/ where a Pd that is intalled into /usr/ can find it.
there are two ways to accomplish that:

- install into /usr/local/lib/pd-externals/ (this will be searched by
all Pd-versions since 0.43 or so)
OR
- install into /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/ and tell Pd to also look into
there by adding this path to your preferences.
