Thanks! Should I have had to create symbolic links to pd-watchdog and pd-gui.tcl too (it's asking for both) or did I do something wrong? I can't seem to get the link to tcl working for some reason.

for a program to run from the terminal or console you need to either use the
full path to the binary, or put a symlink to the binary in the path that is
searched when a command is given (to see that path run "echo $PATH")

in this case, a convenient solution is to run ...

$ sudo ln -s /path/to/your/pd /usr/local/bin/pd

A few days ago IOhannes posted a recipe that updates the official Debian
package to the latest code from Miller. See this thread for details:

http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2015-05/110064.html

And this:

By default Debian also adds ~/bin to your $PATH if it exists, so you can
also do this if you don't want to install as root:

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ ln -s /path/to/your/pd ~/bin/pd

Cheers,

Chris.
