something I noticed is that you have to completely remove previous
installations before reinstalling - otherwise bits of module code are left
around which it tries to compile with the wrong version. you can get it to
work eventually but it leaves random things broken.

where is scheme.h in duredyne? scons doesn't do anything clever in this
regard, it will just use the paths built by PLTPrefix and PLTInclude, so
it should be possible to set it up for any distro.
