[plt-scheme] trouble installing plt v370 on ubuntu

Don't know if this will help you but when I installed on Kubuntu Edgy, I 
chose "no" for unix-type install and then 3 - $HOME/plt , and this seems 
to work for me.
If it does work, maybe you have a permissions problem. Try installing it 
as root (sudo plt-370....) just for debugging purposes.
