hi.
it would be great if you could provide some more information.

which version of Pd are you talking about?

where did you get Pd? how did you install Pd? (compiled from source?
package manager? other pre-built binary?)

which OS are you using?
your path only indicate that it is a un*x like system, but it might
help to know whether you are using some obscure linux distro or plain
irix :-)

/usr/lib64/?
is this path still used on some (linux) systems? openSuSE?

with a recent Pd you might have success by simply running:
   /usr/bin/pd-gui.tcl
(instead of just "pd"). the foremost reason why Pd does not start, is
that it cannot find it's own GUI component. you should be able to
start the GUI by itself, which will in turn start the "core" pd -
maybe with more success.
