Hi and welcome to the forum. :)
Since you downloaded a zip file, you're using windows, right? If so, you don't need to compile it. Just unzip the file to any directory, go the the 'bin' directory, and run pd.exe. That's it, you're running pd.
Now, if you want to write some externals of your own, then you can start thinking about C and compiling. Also, compiling pd to work only affects the linux users (i believe so, since i don't use linux). For windows users you don't need to compile it.

I've just subscribed. Ok, it's an idiot question. I downloaded the zip
for
win and read the FAQ: "To use Pd at this stage you will need some
patience
and a sense of adventure. You might also need to be comfortable compiling and debugging software written for C and UNIX". Now, I've got the sense of adventure and a lot of patience but I am not confortable in compiling C. Effectively, at the very moment I don't know what
to
do.
Is it possible to try to use pd anycase? I mean:
are
there some resources on the web like "pd for *real* dummies: how to
compile
it"? Any suggestion is the most welcome.
Thanks a lot and sorry.
