You cannot install Orion within the scsh layout; that's the problem here 
;-) Orion is a program and not a library, which is also specified in 
'install.scm'. For programs, the install-library has other default 
options defined, among them 'fhs-program' as the default layout. And 
that's the only layout which defines the 'bin' location. So if you don't 
override the layout option, or use 'fhs-program' it works fine. Maybe 
this should be documented somewhere... within Orion or the install-lib, 
or better both :-)
