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

Thanks Andras, that sounds like just what I need. I'll give it a shot this weekend after I fix a botched dist-upgrade.

I just noticed there are more specifics at http://puredata.info/docs/developer/64BitLinux/ under "Method 2
BTW this page is under section "Developers"... it's not only developers who want to install Pd, is it? Wouldn't it make sense to move or link to this page from "download Pd"? Andras
