sounds like you got an x86 or maybe OSX package somehow. try this:
first download tcl & tk 8.5, & puredata source.tar.gz,,

cd tcl/unix; ./configure; make; make install; cd ../../tk/unix; ./configure --enable-xft; make; make install; apt-get install alsa-headers libasound2-dev libjack0.80.0-dev; cd ../../pd/src; autoconf; ./configure; make; make install; grep local/lib /etc/ld.so.conf || echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf; ldconfig

usually i can paste the above, walk away and come back in 5 minutes its done, on debian-ppc (or x86).you may have to change the part about grabbing the alsa/jack headers for mandrake...good luck!
