[Fluxus] Fluxus on Ubuntu - fluxus-engine.ss not found

[Dave Griffiths]

Hi Chris,

scons should be calling mzc for you and also mzscheme in order to find
out what arch you are running (mzscheme decides where to get
fluxus-engine.dylib/fluxus-engine.so/fluxus-engine.dll based on the arch
there is no fluxus-engine.ss file).

The actual problem is that mzc and mzscheme are not on your path - scons
fails to run them silently (which is bad). Once /opt/plt-scheme/ is on
your path fluxus should build without hitches - same on osx.

cheers,

dave
