this could be the same problem, as the floaty text scales by delta too
now to make it framerate independent.

Could you help me by running some tests? If you uncomment #define
TEST_64BIT_TIME right at the top of Renderer.cpp and post what you get
(just committed).

FWIW this is what I get:

raw values from gettimeofday: 1187811979 729084
sizeof tv_sec: 4
usecs to seconds: 0.729084
raw values from gettimeofday: 1187811979 773363
sizeof tv_sec: 4
usecs to seconds: 0.773363
...

I expect the sizeof tv_sec to be 8 on your machine, but I'm not doing
anything I can see which depends on it being 32 bit - so the rest should
work also. I have had a hard day today though, so I may be missing
something stupid. Also, we had this same problem on a random mac at the
last workshop which scared me.

I'm up for anything really - static linking would still work except that
fluxus-engine.so etc will still need to be separate, the location can be
set by a env var - see scratchpad-boot.scm. 

One important thing I've forgot to test is building with only mzscheme -
which should technically work, but probably wont. It would make the
dependencies much smaller (this is a problem on pure:dyne atm)

cheers,
