you are probably missing the jack development packages. run $ sudo aptitude install libjack-jackd2-dev (alternatively, just install all the packages needed to build the puredata package: "sudo aptitude build-depends puredata"; note however that the puredata package is built against jack1 (and can be used with jack2) - but the development packages of jack1 might conflict with your jack2 installation) > then make and sudo make install. good. > If I type pd in a terminal I get Pd-0.44-3 working fine (without jack).

And > where is this link located? probably you messed with your path. after successfully running "make install" the "pd" binary should be installed to "/usr/local/bin/pd" (unless you changed that when running configure; in any case you should examine the output of "make install", as it will show where it installed the files to). but: when running "pd", your system will search in it's PATH for the first "pd" binary it can find. what's the output of the following command: $ which pd what's the output of: $ echo $PATH you can force to run a given binary by specifying it's full path: $ /usr/local/bin/pd or $ /usr/bin/pd the alternatives stuff,... is only used by the deb-packages of puredata and pdx. gfmdra IOhannes
