It seems that you have installed SCEL, even though you want to use SCED 
instead. This should not be a problem though. But it will prevent some 
methods to fail later on, e.g. this message:

> Emacs: No communication FIFO available.

recompiling like this:

scons SCEL=no

will prevent this.


The error happens here:

Is this directory present?
It wants to write a file there; although I believe that Dan Stowell changed 
this to automatically create the dir, if it is not present.
Which version of SC are you running?

You need to create a file called:
.sclang.sc

containing this line:
// set up Server to use a different executable
Server.program = "/usr/local/bin/scsynth";

where the path should point to the actual path of scsynth on your system.
