SuperCollider SCUM/SCEL

 hey everybody,

I have been desperately trying to install the SCUM version of SuperCollider but 
many things went wrong. I hope some of you might have ideas how to get around 
them... 

At first, FLTK wont install, because it does not find the X11 libraries (which 
must be installed, as Fluxbox for example is running quite well :)). Even 
passing a new directory to ./configure (the one where I think these libraries 
reside) does not  really help. any idea?

Another point is, that  I need these libs: libsclang and libscsynth but I can't 
find them anywhere in the distribution (not even in the net!). Does anyone know 
how to get them (cvs is not one of my strengths) or how I can find them?

At last, I would like to know if anyone managed to make SCEL 
(SuperColliderEmacsLisp)
work, as I encountered diffculties configuring everything (basically I got to 
the point where SClang appears in the menu-bar of Emacs but does simply 
nothing). All the stuff I found was either very confusing or I could not really 
find the files mentionned.
As I am really new to everything, I apologise for these basic questions.
