Normal problem with .debs, as they don't install sources. I would 
download the sources for the version of PD you installed via Debian. The 
compiler needs some includes that are in there. The line:

-I../../../pd/src

means that the compiler is looking for a folder called "pd" three 
directories up from the current one. (i.e. ../../../ ). That directory 
looks like /home/will to me. So download your PD sources and put them in 
/home/will, and rename the directory "pd", or make a "ln -s pd 
pd-whatever.version.number.you.downloaded". Then try again.

best,
d.
