Good news!! Installing the i586 version of pd fixed it, apparently by
bringing in the 32-bit versions of tcl and tk! So this is probably
going to be easy to fix. Building Pure Data and all of its extensions
on a 64-bit Linux system is not a slam dunk upstream -- there are
manual hacks for Debian/Ubuntu but they don't even have an openSUSE
build process, let alone one for 64-bit systems. So for now I'm
planning to stick with the working 32-bit version. :)

I've never met a happy clam. In fact, most of them were pretty steamed.
