7.10 - for 7.04 and earlier (as well as Debian proper) the version numbers will be different, so it's worth using Synaptic to track down the most recent versions of the programs that I've listed here, instead of just hammering it all into Aptitude.
<br>Also, when using this method in older versions of Ubuntu, and in Debian, I noticed that there were sometimes errors saying that libmzscheme3m.so.0 couldn't be found: it's in /usr/lib/ instead of /usr/local/lib. Just cp it across.
<br>With the method I've listed here, I hope to make new users a bit more comfortable with general use of the command line: listing things such as autocomplete will be something that they'll most likely remember, and consider to be a friendly feature, thus making people realise that the command line's not as evil as all that, I hope :)

No Idea why. As such, I installed Ubuntu
7.10 today, and installed Fluxus straight after running a dist-upgrade.<br>To the patented Gerry Grainger method of Fluxus installation, then!<br><br><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Firstly, install your
graphics card driver: mine's ATi, so let the restricted drivers
application do its thing - it'll install everything you need.<br>Open the terminal
window, and type (or copy and paste) in:</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">sudo aptitude install
build-essential scons fftw3-dev libglew1.4-dev freeglut3-dev
liblo0-dev libsndfile1-dev libtiff4-dev libpng12-dev
libjack0.100.0-dev qjackctl libfreetype6-dev libxaw7-dev libode0-dev</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Let it do its thing.
It'll ask you for your password: that's normal behaviour – enter
it, and then press Y when it asks you if it's ok to install
everything.<br>Now, type in the
following: a line break indicates pressing Enter, and [Tab] means
that you should press the Tab key to autocomplete. To follow this
trend, anything in square brackets indicates a special keypress, such
as Control being [Ctrl].</p>
