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

[Dave Griffiths]

I've not seen that error before it was mentioned by Anders a few days ago
in relation to the svn plt version. 372 should be ok (it's what I'm using,
on ubuntu).

It's a pain, but there must be some files around still from the svn version?

Having said that, we should probably get that fixed anyway - although from
reading the plt list lately, it sounds like there could be rather a lot
needing changing.
