Hi John -
There's an outstanding issue with running mit-scheme on Ubuntu
machines. We're working with Ubuntu to get the problem fixed, and I'm
hopeful that we can have it working within the next month or so.
In the mean time, you can work around the bug by running the following:
sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0
(You should enter your password when prompted, not the root password)
