I'd like to build the latest stable version of PD from source on my Mac OS X Tiger machine, for the following reasons.

To build libraries and modules which rely on pd, knowing that the source is compatible
Confidence I have the latest version, to reduce issues associated with changes to important libraries such as tcltk in Mac OS X Tiger.
To know exactly what I've added to the system

I'm somewhat confused as to...
a) What is the latest stable source version suitable for compatibility with Mac OS X Tiger (sourceforge indicates that 0.38-1 is newer than 0.38-4, and other online sources claim to have 0.39 builds of PD).
b) How tcltk should be acquired and in a way to avoid the following error from cd pd-0.3.x-x/src/; ./configure; make  
libtool: can't open file: ../../Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/Current/Tk (No such file or directory)
libtool: can't open file: ../../Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/Current/Tcl (No such file or directory)

Are there any up to date resources which list members could point me to? There are lots of traces around which might suggest worthwhile routes to completing a successful build, and I've been able to get the Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC2.app to run as a binary on my powerbook OK so somebody must know how to build for this platform, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive record of what is the latest Tiger-compatible source release, or what is the way Tcltk should be acquired and integrated to have it end up in the right place for the regular installer to recognise it.

I've built tcltk both with the BatteriesIncluded distrib from 
http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/
and from Fink
sudo fink install tcltk tcltk-dev tcltk-shlibs
and from DarwinPorts 
sudo port install tcl
but no luck yet.

I'll accept any flames of the form google for 'X Y Z', since I can't find the magic combination.

In the end I wish to control quicktime video playback speed through PD, driven by signals from a basic stamp, delivered through the serial port, as described here http://cefn.com/curiosity/?pagename=handcar. Any thoughts on this approach would be welcomed.
