I've not installed with apt-get, I simply symlinked 
/usr/include/tcl8.3/tcl.h to /usr/include/tcl.h and
/usr/include/tcl8.3/tk.h to /usr/include/tk.h and the compilation went
successfully. 

If I don't specify -alsa pd freeze completely the computer.
For now I don't use MIDI (first time trying pd), but I have a problem
with audio on my iMic:

snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format (input): Invalid argument
Sample width set to 2 bytes
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format (output): Invalid argument

And when I open the audio test page and click on "-40", I hear a very
ugly noise...

The internal soundcard of the ibook instead seems to work fine.
I suspect that this has something to do with inputs, since internal
soundcard doesn't have them. 

Ciao
