Ah, I found it.  For some reason I have pd-0.40-2 in both /usr/local
and in my home folder.  I copied the comport files to my home folder's
extra folder, and it works.  Now to decide which Pd to keep...

i think it depends on where pd itself is: if it's in /usr/local/bin it
will check /usr/local/lib/pd/extra, but if it's in /usr/bin it will look
  in /usr/lib/pd/extra. just add /usr/local/lib/pd/extra to your path
and it will always be checked.
