You ran "make install" right? (it does a lot more than copy binaries)

I ended up running the build locally (without --prefix) and manually copying the executables in the bin directory of the unpacked tar. mzscheme and mred got copied fine, but are also built in the src/ directory, not one level up. I got everything working, just figured someone might want to check on the script.
