[PD] declare -lib discrepancy

[Ed Kelly]

So, I have two PCs. One is a a desktop and one is a laptop.
Both have Intel i5 Sandy Bridge processors.
Both are running Debian stretch.
Both are running Pd 0.49, and libraries are installed via Deken system.
On my desktop, after creating a [declare -lib creb] object it makes no difference, and I have to type [creb/eadsr~] for example to get the object to load.
On my laptop, I can load objects after declaring the library. I can just type a [declare -lib creb] object and then use as many [eadsr~] objects as I like. Declare does not seem to work on my desktop.
Is this an issue with regards to superuser permissions or configuration files (not .pdrc, surely) I'm really stumped, and it means I cannot make my libraries of externals and abstractions to work for other people if I cannot even determine why they do or do not work in my own situation. I may have overlooked something stupid, in which case I'll happily take the whip from you, but I think I'm too close to work out what's wrong.

Pls Help :-(Ed
