[PD] .43.4 and ubuntu 10.04 error / wont launch gui

[Rick T]

Greetings All

I just installed puredata .43.4 ppa onto ubuntu 10.04 and I get this
error and it won't launch the gui

PUREDATA selection doesn't exist or form "STRING" not defined
PUREDATA selection doesn't exist or form "STRING" not defined
    while executing
"selection get -selection PUREDATA"
    (procedure "first_lost" line 2)
    invoked from within
"first_lost"

Any idea how to fix this?
the ppa link is http://ppa.launchpad.net/eighthave/pd-extended/ubuntu

Thanks
