are you using 0.8, or a version from cvs? what is the script you are
running when you see this? do not trust the scripts in examples - a lot of
them are old and broken. I'm gonna remedy this situation soon.

are you running fluxus in 64bit mode (I assume you are if you are building
it?)

so, does something like (load "examples/game.scm") fail to work? does it
load the script into the editor, does it run the script? (that one doesn't
use the audio) also, do you get any errors on the terminal?

that should work, but you'll need to connect the output of xmms to the
input of fluxus (Fluxus:In0) with an app like qjackctrl.
