Installing scsh on Ubuntu 11.10

To whom it may concern,

I am very eager to start shell scripting using scsh, but I am having a
very hard time getting any version of it to work. I'm running Ubuntu
11.10 x86_64 via VirtualBox on a Macbook Air.

I tried the stock scsh packages for Ubuntu 11.10 after installing the
i386 libraries, but that had issues with broken packages.

I tried following the instructions available as part of the scsh
Google Code project for porting it to 64-bit Scheme48, but the paths
to Roderic's pages at neu.edu are coming up with 404 errors.

I tried the following instructions from the newsgroup, but it didn't
seem to install a scsh executable anywhere in my path:

I am really at my wit's end. I think that scsh is a brilliant approach
to shell scripting, but it seems that there's no easy way to run it.
Any help with getting me to scsh scripting bliss would be greatly
appreciated. Save me from needing to reinvent scsh using CLISP. :-)

Thanks,
