why do you not use the Debian packages?
(oh, because xenial still has Pd-0.46-7)

the mailinglist archives should give you instructions on how to properly
build an uptodate Pd debian package.

because the default is (still) to use the OSS backend, which is
obviously not enabled on your system.

start "pd -alsa" or "pd -jack" (or set the audio backend via the media-menu)
afair, the Debian packages have set the default to "-alsa", so it
usually just works.
