I haven't seen that - but liblo can be a little moody with URLs and
such, does example 22 run? It sends an osc message to itself and prints
it out.

ah, right, I though you meant somewhere in the standard path...
2 options:

1. properly detect the arch somehow
2. put it in a non arch named path (that path is actually entirely up to
us)

The advantage of doing it properly is that fluxus could be installed
centrally on mixed architecture networks - but I'd say that that is rare
enough not to lose sleep over, anyone have any thoughts on this? ;)

I tried getting it to work with 260 (the latest release, which was in
November) but had loads of problems, I'm going to wait.
