Linux source tarball install script
If anyone would want to, for some random reason, install the source tarball on their computer but don't know how, I made some scripts to do it. Gnome and development packages required. The install script will install scratch and make a shortcut under applications;Accessories in the GNOME menu. Tested on 32-bit, in testing on 64-bit but because it compiles on your computer it should work just fine. There is also an uninstall script and the run scripts for alsa, oss, and pulse. It will ask which one during installation. If interested email me at [removed - please do not post email addresses]. I will send the tar.gz file to you along with instructions. File size 1.2kb and it downloads the source for scratch, then removes it when it's done exracting. 
! Just had some free time so decided to make them. They are more of an experiment with shell scripts than anything else.

Re: Linux source tarball install script
In Scratch? If so, did you hack any blocks? If not, did you use mesh? If no, did you use a program to make it work and use a feature in Scratch, hacked for it or not?

Re: Linux source tarball install script
Sorry it took so long to reply. No, its not a script made in scratch. It's a shell (.sh) script that downloads and installs the source tarball version of scratch. It should work on linux running gnome. Could be modified for other display managers because pretty much the only dependant thing is the .desktop files which can be changed. The .desktop files are only necessary for menu items so it's not that important. Also I put it on rapidshare.

Re: Linux source tarball install script
I stumbled across an addon for scratch called BYOB (build your own blocks) so I made install script for that. The normal scratch install script will prompt if you want to or not from now on, but I will also have a seperate install script.
