[Fluxus] installing fluxus from source in ubuntu 7.10 gutsy?

[Jaime Villarreal]

Thanks Dave and Artem for being so responsive.

I tried deleting /usr/local/lib/plt and reinstalling from source but
I'm still receiving the same error.
I also tried installing Artem's deb package and received the same error.

#f::0: compile: bad syntax; function application is not allowed,
because no #%app syntax transformer is bound in: (define
fluxus-collects-location "/usr/local/lib/plt/collects/")

So what is the #%app ayntax transformer?
/usr/local/lib/plt/collects definitely exists with lots of files inside.

Befuddled, jaime.
