I've tried both 0.8 AND cvs snapshot...  I believe I have tried bars.scm
physicstest.scm and ribbon.scm but I probably did quick tests just trying to
run more of them without any luck...

do I need to do anything special to use 64bit mode?  I've emerged all the
packages according to how gentoo works and I'm building with scons...  it
should be compiled in 64 bit, right?

the exact same thing happens when I try (load "examples/bars.scm") or whatever
the example is...  same error, it doesn't load it into the editor and it
definitely doens't run the script =(

ahh, I will try manually entering something into the editor and seeing if that
will work...
