[Fluxus] how to compile and run on mac osx 10.5 (intel)

it should feel quite familiar coming from CL, but a bit 'bare' or 
stripped down in places. SICP is a good read to get a feel for scheme ->

there is no precompiled binaries (yet!) for 10.5, but it does run ok 
when built from source. the 0.14 release compiles & runs, but i haven't 
checked out changes from cvs in the last months.

you should install plt-scheme, from here -> 
http://download.plt-scheme.org/drscheme/

almost all the dependencies are in macports (if you don't have it, 
download from here -> http://www.macports.org/install.php ), form memory 
you might need to install liblo and jack independently.

have fun.
