MIT-Scheme does not work, cannot compile either.

[thcommj]

Hi MIT-scheme doesn't seem to work for me on Ubuntu Hardy, like many others who have reported the same issue. So I tried to follow the instructions on http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/liarc-build.html to rebuild from the source but haven't been successful. the whole thing was done in a minute (it is supposed to take hours..)..

EDIT: I figured that it was because I didn't have build-essential installed...

NEW PROBLEM: Now I've compiled it, but it seems to have trouble installing....

thcommj@thcommj-laptop:~/scheme/mit-scheme-c-20080130/src$ make install
/bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c
mkdir /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c': Permission denied
make: *** [install-auxdir-top] Error 1
thcommj@thcommj-laptop:~/scheme/mit-scheme-c-20080130/src$ gksu make install
/bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c
mkdir /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c
/usr/bin/install -c --preserve-timestamps -m 644 ./etc/optiondb.scm /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c/.
/usr/bin/install -c --preserve-timestamps -m 644 lib/*.com /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c/.
make: *** [install-auxdir-top] Error 1
m': No such file or directory

And I tried again..

thcommj@thcommj-laptop:~/scheme/mit-scheme-c-20080130/src$ gksu make install
/bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c
/usr/bin/install -c --preserve-timestamps -m 644 ./etc/optiondb.scm /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c/.
/usr/bin/install -c --preserve-timestamps -m 644 lib/*.com /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-c/.
thcommj@thcommj-laptop:~/scheme/mit-scheme-c-20080130/src$

still doesn't work....
