(I would recommend to get a full checkout from CVS once, so you will be up
to date all the time without having to download everything again, "cvs
up" will get you all changes.)

You're probably missing a lot of stuff which Ubuntu's default install
may think is unnecessary. (While I think, a lot of stuff installed by
Ubuntu is unnecessary, but that's another story... ;) Normally if you
install the "build-essential" package your compiler should work. For
Pd you also need several "-dev" packages, like libasound-dev etc. The
easiest way to get these on a Debian system is to install the
build-dependencies for the puredata package with "apt-get build-dep
puredata". 

Ciao
