This is bad, X11 should be found, I guess.

I remember, I had to set that link on Debian, too, like 
/usr/include/tk.h -> /usr/include/tcl8.3/tk.h

Actually I never had any problem besides this tk-symlink on Debian.
Could you post the file config.log (gzipped) after a configure-run?

You should try to get pd_0.36, but maybe that's what you're trying
anyways. pd_0.35 is old, but pd_0.35-test11 is way old and it might be
one of those test versions with more bugs...
