I should have read more carefully before make install.
What you can do is use a different prefix. For example, distro packages
are configured with --prefix=/usr while the default is --prefix=/usr/local
so you can install desiredata while still running pd by typing /usr/bin/pd
explicitly.
Instead you may also use the same --prefix with two or more manually
installed versions of a program, e.g. pd-0.40, pd-devel-0.39,
desiredata-cvs. They will share the same filenames in the same locations
and you can switch between them quite quickly by typing "make install" in
the source folder of the version that you want to use. (It's quick if it
doesn't have to be recompiled)
"/usr/local/bin/pd: error while loading shared libraries: libpd.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
libpd.so is in /usr/local/lib
Any ideas on how to get it connected and usable? I am on Ubuntu Studio 7.04
Edit /etc/ld.so.conf or equivalent and add /usr/local/lib to it. I don't
understand why any distro would avoid supporting something as common as
/usr/local but that's exactly what it does. Another way to support that
directory without having to be root (sudo...) and without having to use
ldconfig, is to set (or modify) the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
instead.
