I am having similar issue here.

So after I have done the above, then

when I am trying to do this part, unfortunately towards the end, my
terminal prints out something like this
Installing Tk library files to
/Users/osamupang/pure-data/mac/tk8.5.19/macosx/../../build/tk/Deployment//Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Scripts/
Installing Ttk library files to
/Users/osamupang/pure-data/mac/tk8.5.19/macosx/../../build/tk/Deployment//Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/Scripts/ttk/

Try 'ln --help' for more information.
make[2]: *** [install-tk] Error 1
make[1]: *** [tk] Error 2
make: *** [embedded-deploy] Error 2

edit: as I am writing this, I also find a work around to the above problem,
basically I did this to get into the homebrew environment:

brew sh
mac/tcltk-wish.sh --leave 8.5.19

(I am not sure other mac users are having the same problem as I do, but if
it is, it might be worth to add this work around to INSTALL.txt or
mac/README.txt ?)
however after the next steps

mac/osx-app.sh --wish Wish-8.5.19.app 0.49-1
open Pd-0.49-1.app/

I am having the same issue as Alexandre, where I can't put any object in Pd,
and when I am trying to resize the window, it just went dark and stopped
responding.
