It gets weirder. Trying different escaping $ aconnect tickle:0 'Pure Data':1
... That quotation might not work at all, because you quote only part of the port name anyway. Still, have you checked that the ports aren't connected already? That might be a reason. I usually use quoting with double quotes, but have also tried single quotes, as you did, and escaping a space character with a backslash, which also worked. Also you say that "Pure Data:1" is an input port. Just, because there can be confusion with input and output, especially when hardware ports are involved: will PureData read MIDI from that port into the program? Normally aconnect complains if you don't sort portnames correctly on the commandline. First the port that produces MIDI and then the port that consumes/reads MIDI. Alternatively: if it is possible for you to use a graphic desktop environment in this situation, you can find very handy patch bays, which will take care of all these oddities.
