Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Sorry, there was a typo in my initial message, it should say "there is no i686 package available".
When I tried to install the Jaunty package I got a "wrong kernel type" error. All the packages seem to be for i386 and lpia, while my machine is running i686. The only mention of an i686 version that I have found is for Karmic in the 02-10-10 nightly build (and it seems rather small at 5.1M).
When I tried adding adding to sources.list and installing via apt-get I received the following error: "Failed to fetch http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/jaunty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found"
Anyway, I ended up installing pd vanilla, gem, and zexy seperately and adding the appropriate paths in the file > startup menu. Everything is working just fine now.

Hello Ben,
I am on amd64 too, and my best recommendation is that you use the i386 version. At the moment it is just faster and more stable than 64-bit builds. To set up an i386 package on your 64-bit Jaunty and satisfy all the 32-bit dependecies you'll most likely want to use getlibs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790
