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

[Jaime Villarreal]

Ok, making some progress here. Went back and installed plt-scheme once
again only this time I resinstalled fluxus also.
Now I get a different error when I invoke fluxus.

mtranslate: expects argument of type <vector>; given #3(0 1 -10)

Any leads?
