It's interesting that you didn't need to install any of these from
source, we should be able to make a debian package soon.

The official 370 should really be used now - but there isn't much
difference if you already have it running.

I have this in my ld.so.conf:

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

I think in this case the path needs to be added to whatever is in that
directory (which is architecture dependant)

Another way of doing it (what I'm doing at the moment) is to set the
environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib before running
fluxus (it's in my .bashrc).
