See one of the early correspondences in this thread. Namely, you can simply download the tarball and recompile it (if necessary--it does come with i386 version precompiled) by doing aclocal; autoconf; ./configure (with flags); make; (do not do "make install"). Then you can simply go to pd/bin directory and run ./pd from there to test things out. Other way you could do it is to pass a --prefix command to ./configure script so that the pd is installed elsewhere. This however does not resolve the problem of the executable having the same name (if you already have another version of pd installed). All that said, I am using this version in L2Ork's production environment with 16 netbooks and am very pleased with it (although a slew of changes/additions I've done over the past week may need additional testing). NB: Some externals may require a recompile due to changes to some of the .h files. No source changes should be necessary, however, for such a recompile to be successful.
