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

[Dave Griffiths]

I think you might need to reinstall again - I'm thinking a bit clearer
this morning, try the following steps:

1) delete /usr/local/include/plt and /usr/local/lib/plt
2) in plt, run make clean, make, make install
3) in fluxus run scons -c, then sudo scons install

I for one, look forward to a binary package future :)
