Personally I'd say, that if you don't need Gem, you may be someone who doesn't need many other externals, either, so maybe you want to go with a lean and mean install of Pd vanilla and only install other externals when you find that you really need them? That's what I do: I only use special purpose externals like Gem or pmpd or OSC (and Lua a lot). "Normal" stuff I do in plain Pd as abstractions, which has the advantage of being very cross-platform and without any dependencies. Building Pd vanilla is a snap on Linux in whichever flavour. Just grab the latest source package from Miller's site, make sure you have the devel packages for ALSA and Tcl/Tk installed, then do "configure && make && make install".
