[plt-scheme] newbie installation problem on kubuntu edgy

How did you download DrScheme? From http://download.plt-scheme.org/drscheme/ you can find a self installing script plus a two line 
instruction how to run the installer.

    (lambda(x)(lambda(y)(x(x y)))))
   (lambda(x)(x)x))
  (lambda()(printf "Greetings, Jos~n"))))

  Hi everyone, I have decided that learning Scheme is the right way to
  enlightenment, and after careful study found plt-scheme to be the one to
  try. Unfortunately I ran into trouble already before I could get it
  installed, and I would be very happy if someone could shed some light on
  the meaning of the error messages I got.
  I first tried sudo apt-get install mzscheme drscheme, installed all
  dependent packages and checked the checkbox that showed up asking me if
  I want to start the web server. I received various error messages, the
  one that particularly bothered me was the one saying that drscheme
  depends on mzscheme, which was not properly configured (the actual
  message has disappeared from the end of the console buffer):

  So I tried:
  $ /etc/init.d/mzscheme start
  Starting web server: mzserver ... start-stop-daemon: stat
  /usr/lib/plt/bin/mzscheme: No such file or directory (No such file or
  directory)
  failed

  Based on this, I tried reconfiguring it, with no luck, but then I
  figured that I might satisfy it by copying /usr/bin/mzscheme into the
  directory above, which gave me this result (together with the X errors
  below, which I don't understand but I know are not related to plt-scheme):

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mzscheme
  /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mzscheme is broken or not fully installed
  DESTROY created new reference to dead object ' Qt::VBoxLayout' during
  global destruction.

  After a bit of trouble I managed to get the packages removed, so I could
  start over:

  $ sudo apt-get install mzscheme
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  Suggested packages:
    drscheme slib
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    mzscheme

  Now I have to throw in the towel. I am not (yet) experienced enough with
  linux to solve this problem by myself, hence my mail to this list.
  Any hint to get me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated!

  Ronny.
