[PD] loading externals on Debian (was Re: Py/pyext not recognized...)

[Raphael Raccuia]

Update:

I tried again installing with Deken, and now _flext_ is installed, it 
works more or less:

-All example patches are loading, sometimes with some errors, except 
sig- examples, which crash pd. All py_ objects load and seem to work.

-on startup when loading lib, I get this error:
/ImportError: No module named _multiarray_umath/
