Hi, I am newish to ubuntu, so I hope I'm not offending anyone by asking this.
I already have pd-van 0.40.2-2 and pd-ext 0.39.3-1 installed on my system, but through synaptic (old versions, of course). So I just downloaded the freshest build, Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080516-ubuntu-gutsy-i386.deb. When I click on the file, and the installer opens up, it says "Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'puredata' " (that would be pd-van). I also noticed that pd-van was installed in usr/bin/pd, pd-ext in usr/local/bin/pd, and the new installer wants to install the files in usr/lib/pd. So I wanted to ask: - which is the best way to install the new pd version? or is there a way to add a repository where the newest version is available, so that synaptic updates it automatically? - Is it possible to install pd-ext where the program already is, usr/local/bin/pd? - if pd-van (puredata) and pd-ext are different programs, why is the new .deb file colliding with 'puredata', that is, pd-van? - I have already changed some files / made copies of them in the same folder. In case I install the new version on the same folder, will only repeated files be overwritten? (f.e., "default.pdsettings" will be for sure overwritten, but "default.pdsettings_backup" on the same folder won't disappear?)
