Where would that directory be ?

That would be ~/.sclang.sc, not .cfg. The .cfg one is meant to select
libraries etc. The example one supplied contains lines to uncomment if
you don't need Crucial or JitLib. Which I did. When this failed, I
commented out everything, same result. Then I removed the file, and
things started to work. So it seems it's now impossible not to load
Crucial and/or JitLib.

Yes, normally I use scel. I just started sclang in a terminal to 
exclude anything scel being the cause of failure.

3.4.3 here.

Yes if you can get used to the weird language (too many ways to do
the same things), and the MAC-style documentation (many 'quick result'
examples using 'convenience' notation, but every often the basic 
technical' info is missing). 

Also tried SwingOSC (with the necessary stuff in ~/.sclang.sc) but it
failed as well, with lots of messages about methods not being found. 
Which means that even more of the help files are useless as they use
plot and scope all the time.

Ciao,
