[Fluxus] fluxus 0.15 on osx

i just encountered this bug yesterday. it's really frustrating, and
after struggling for a couple of hours i realized that it is a problem
of the new macports scons 0.98.4 package that got into macports a couple
of days ago. my solution was to remove the macports scons package, and
install scons 0.98.5 from source. i hope this helps.

please also note that plt-scheme 4.0 was released a couple of days ago, 
and if you are downloading that or the latest pre-release binary (0.26), 
you need to change the paths when invoking scons. i haven't tested 
either of these versions yet, though.

all the best,
gabor
