starting from suse 6.0, i had the same problems - pd > 0.26 did not
compile
and the precompiled versions did not work. I upgraded my machine from 
suse 6.0 to 6.3 (via yast) and then pd-gui crashed leaving the pd thread
running like crazy and not reacting either to pd-watchdog or kill -9 ...

recently i installed suse6.3 from scratch on a new machine and,
surprise,
surprise, the compiled pd (millers version) run like a charm... 
seems that just upgrading suse does not correct the broken tcl-tk
headers.
