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

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

actual links to downloads. I'd say it should got in /doc/
