Some may install easy, some may not. That's why the community came up with the 'template' (also in the externals-folder) to create a standard for libraries. Maybe in somewhere future all libraries will install the same way. It's a hell of a job to install all libraries pd-extended contains, but I guess there's no need for that. Pd-extended loads a bunch of externals every time you'll probably never use. It's easy though to have them all installed but personally I seemed to use almost only vanilla-objects. Since I use the same version you just installed I even know better what's available for pd. The only disadvantage of not having pd-extended I can think of is when you download someone else's patch and the only information you get is that all objects are included in pd-extended.
So whether you can use it the way as described above or you can try to change the install-path of pd-extended and uninstall pd-vanilla again. For the last option: searching somewhere in the source for "/usr/bin/" and change that bit of text to "usr/local/bin" is what I would try in your position. mfg Funs > Best regards, > mcc > > > > > > > > Thanks for all help I got here. > > > > > > bye > > > > > > Best regards, > > > mcc > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thank you very much for any help in advance! > > > > > Best regards, > > > > > mcc > > > > > > > > > > I hope this somehow is an answer to your question.
