Ok for using [pdcontrol] to obtain absolute paths.

So I did some investigations (Ubuntu 18.04-5, Reaper, latest pd vanilla 
and camomile v1.0.8-beta)

1)    absolute paths for pddir and scheddir work fine, both in pd 
vanilla and in camomile, when hardcoded as arguments of pd~ box.

2)

[pd~ pddir  <absolute path for pd bin>, pd~ start subprocess.pd(
|
[pd~ -ninsig 2 -noutsig 2 -fifo 20]

works well in pd vanilla,  although you cannot send  a [pd ~scheddir 
xxxxx(  message.  (but if you put pdsched with pd binaries, it's ok)

In my tests, (2) doesn't work in camomile.

3) Now a workaround  will be to dynamically create the pd~ box with all 
hardcoded arguments cooked from [pdcontrol]
